Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Canada. Indian Affairs Branch. Port Arthur Agency : The Northern Superintendency-Division 4 was established 1 April 1875 (o/c 316) and was responsible for the bands living along the north shore of Lake Superior between Michipicoten and the head of the lake: Fort William, Nipigon, Pays Plat, Pic, Red Rock, and Long Lake. Although the appointment of the agent was confirmed on 1 April, his duties were to commence on 1 May 1875. The agency has undergone a number of name changes over the years and the points of transition in the usage of the terms Northern Superintendency Division 4, Ojibways of Lake Superior - Western Division, and Port Arthur Agency are unclear. The name Ojibways of Lake Superior - Western Division first appears in an Annual Report in 1896 while the name Port Arthur Agency is first used in an Annual Report in 1929. A Treasury Board minute of 1955 confirms this agency. On 1 March 1968 the Port Arthur Agency became part of the Lakehead District.
