Abstract
"In 1882, one Mr. Taylor, who had purchased lands, leased the fisheries to certain whites, and in consequence of this troubles and disputes arose, which it was not difficult to see would end in disaster to the Indians unless some protection was afforded them. To test the right of the Indians to ingress or egress, Mr. Taylor determined to close the only means of approach by land to the fisheries. It was proposed to purchase the land from Mr. Taylor, but this was declined by the Department for the reason that the Indians already possessed, under their treaty, all the rights they would acquire by purchase."
