| Abstract | Many other bands in this prime fur-trading region reached agreement with the Government in the late nineteenth century when Treaties 6 and 7 were signed. But this Cree band did not surrender its claim to the land "because the elders had heard Indians were being herded on to reserves and they didn't want this," Mr. [Archie Waquan] said. "I'm glad they waited." The wait has not always been pleasant. |
