Scope and content

Sub-series consists of Black Series files (Vols. 3555-4095) dealing with almost all aspects of the administration of Indian Affairs in western Canada, 1872-1959. The bulk of the records concern the period 1872-1923. Many of the early files were created by the Office of the Indian Commissioner for Manitoba and the North-West Territories, while others are from the Manitoba Superintendency. Such records were not originally part of the headquarters records system but were integrated into the system after the closure of those two western offices and the transfer of their files to Ottawa.
The maps,architectural and technical drawings consist of plans in the negotiations of Indian Treaty 8, maps and plans of indian reserves in western Canada, plans showing the G.T.P.R. right-of-way through Se-As-Bunkut Indian Reservation No. 2 and Stel-La-Quo Indian Reservation and a map of British Columbia being a geographical division of the Indians of the province according to their nationality and dialect.

A hardcopy print-out of the information contained in computer generated finding aid 10-13, presented in box list format (which lists the files in volume number and file number order), prepared by the National Archives in the early 1980s, is available on microfilm reel C-9639. However, this box list was filmed prior to the opening of restricted material and so does not reflect the current access status of all records.
