Métis Scrip Records

Commissions

Treaty 5 Adhesion Commission

Applications

Unlike earlier Commissions, Métis applications under Order-in-Council P.C. 1114, 14 May, 1908, were not filed separately by the Department. Instead, all the applications were set up by the Department as case files and were filed in the Dominion Lands Branch central registry. These records are now found in RG 15, series D II 1, Dominion Lands Branch, Correspondence (see description elsewhere). To obtain a listing of all the applicants under the Treaty 5 (Northern Manitoba Adhesion), researchers should refer to the claims register (RG 15, volume 1516, described elsewhere).
