HC Deb 15 March 1883 vol 277 c552
SIR HERBERT MAXWELL

asked the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, Whether he can state the result of the mission of the Red Indian Chief who last year visited this Country, had an audience with Her Majesty the Queen at Windsor, and an interview with Lord Kimberley at the Colonial Office; and, whether any assurance can now be given that his tribe will not be disturbed by the Canadian Government in the possession of the territory assigned to them?

MR. EVELYN ASHLEY

As a matter of fact, the person in question had no audience of Her Majesty nor interview with the Earl of Kimberley. The Colonial Office, however, in consequence of his application, referred the matter to the Government of Canada, and were informed at the end of last year that the allegation of the Chief Wah-Bun-Ah-Kee, alias Scobie Logan, that a movement was on foot to deprive the Indians occupying the Caradoc reserve of their lands thereon was totally without foundation.
