Abstract (summary)
The patent to a section of land in the middle of Ermineskin's reserve
was held by the Hudson's Bay Company and eventually sold to farmers.
When the Department of Indian Affairs became aware of the situation,
they embarked on a campaign to have the Ermineskin people surrender
the land. This paper exams the practices of the Department of Indian
Affairs and the determined resistance of the Ermineskin people to shed
light on land surrender and Aboriginal agency.
