- However the fee simple grant retained the legal ‘disability’ that the grantee had no ‘power to sell, lease or otherwise alienate the land’ without approval by the governor-in-council.
- In 1884 the Liberal government of Ontario had targeted this class of alleged Conservative voters by amending the provincial election law to prohibit all enfranchised Indian men who participated in ‘annuities, interests, moneys or rents of a tribe’ from registering for the franchise.
- In British Columbia the franchise law explicitly disenfranchised all Indians.
- In British North America imperial governors had already taken it upon themselves to transform an older system of military alliances with First Nations into a new system of reservations to govern Indian subjects.
- In the 1870s the ‘numbered’ treaties between the Canadian government and the Cree, Blackfoot, and other nations sought to extinguish ‘aboriginal’ title in return for protection on reserved lands based on the British practices of treaty-making that had evolved from the Royal Proclamation of 1763 to the Robinson treaties of the 1850s. On the history of the ‘numbered’ treaties and the context of coercion through administered hunger and the threat of violence, see e.g.

- Miller traces this shift to the appointment of Clifford Sifton as superintendent-general of Indian affairs in 1896. ‘Sifton’s dismal opinion of the Indians’ potential ’ he argues, ‘reinforced a sense of disillusionment about Canada’s Indian policy that was growing throughout the bureaucracy.’

- Over the past few decades legal histories of Indigenous peoples subject to the laws of Canada have overwhelmingly and understandably focused on the subject of Aboriginal title.
- Private property was the imperial paradigm for the assimilation of non-Europeans. In 1837 the Aborigines Select Committee of the House of Commons in London published a report on the future of imperial rule over ‘Aborigines,’ which referred to all non-European subjects in settler colonies from Canada to the Cape Colony. Among other things, it recommended imposing private property as both the primary means and end of assimilation.
- Quoted in Montgomery ‘Six Nations Indians,’ supra note 4 at 16
- Reed’s radical re-description of treaties was similar to – though did not use the exact language of – the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council finding ‘that the tenure of the Indians was a personal and usufructuary right dependent upon the good will of the Sovereign.’
- Remarkably there is only one academic history of the Grand General Indian Council.

- There was one apparent exception to the Haudenosaunee rejection of enfranchisement. The Haudenosaunee ‘Chiefs and Warriors at Caughnawage’ (of the Kahnawá:ke reserve bordering Montreal) asked if they could take up an older offer to be enfranchised as a community on their own terms so that they could ‘figurer dans la societé etant admis comme touts sujets Britannique à participer aux mêmes privileges et benifices.’ Chiefs of Caughnawage to David Laird, 24 March 1876, vol 6809, folio 470-2-3-1, RG 10, LAC. But Reid suggests that these petitioners were most likely a small minority similar in status and grievance to the ‘dehorners’ at the Six Nations.

- These changes were introduced the next year in the amended Indian Act. Indian Act SC 1895, c 35.
