Abstract
Agent writes to tell dept that he thinks that all of the Pictou County indians should be placed on one large reserve and not scattered about. He says that there reserve now numbers about 164 acres, but only about 25 of those are arable. He also states that it is difficult to get more than half of the children to attend the Indian School at Pictou Landing. Recommends a parcel of land nearby that could be purchased.
