1921- Letter from Chief Matthew Francis to Department of Indian Affairs

Letter from Chief Matthew Francis of Pictou Landing, asking for clarification on Mi'kmaq hunting and fishing rights. Three Mi'kmaq hunters from Pictou Landing had recently been arrested for hunting wild fowl on Caribou Island, and Chief Francis asked for clarification as he believed these hunters were acting within their rights. Chief Francis asked for written copies of the rules to help prove these rights to local wardens and officials.
