Applications

Dept. of Interior, RG 15, Series D II 8d, Applications, 1921-1925, 0.2 m, vol. 1372; microfilm reel C-15011.

Applications made by Métis of the Mackenzie River District from 1921 to 1925. In accordance with P.C. 1172, 12 April, 1921, the award in extinguishment of their Indian title was to be a cash payment of $240, paid by the Department of the Interior. Scrip or land grants in the amount of 240 acres or $240 were not issued by the Department, as with former Métis commissions. An index to the applications can be found in finding aid FA15-22. It can be accessed through Archives Search. If an application can not be found in this series, researchers should examine the central registry of the Dominion Lands Branch (RG 15, Series D II 1, described elsewhere). The file may have been withdrawn from the main applications by departmental officials and set up as a case file in the central registry.

For a complete listing of all Métis applications (both the allowed and the disallowed applications) under the Treaty 11 Commission, researchers should refer to the claims register, which is now retained as RG 15, volume 1495 (described elsewhere).
