The circumstances surrounding his creation remain unclear, but its creator, A. André, parish priest at Saint-Laurent on Saskatchewan (near Carlton), specifies that it is a report intended for a colonel who is not identified. The document is the record of four public meetings held at the Saint Laurent Métis winter camp from December 1873 to January 1875. The purpose of the first assembly was to form a justice committee and to elect those who would have to settle disputes and adjudicate cases brought before them. A 28-section regulation was then proposed and amended in 1875. The last part of the document contains remarks by A. André, essentially with respect to the destruction of bison, which he finds alarming. It proposes to remedy this by limiting hunting periods.Provenance:Biography/Administrative history:André, A : Priest at Saint-Laurent on the Saskatchewan (close to Carlton).Additional information:General note:At the time these documents were created (1873-1875), the Métis colony of Saint-Laurent was part of the North-West Territory which was ceded to Canada in 1905 and eventually became the province of Saskatchewan.Custodial history:Documents acquired in 1953 from the Royal Mounted Police.Availability of other formats note:Also available is an enlarged negative photocopy of the original in folder #1, along with an English translation (negative photocopy) with the title "Copy of the Laws and Regulations established for the Colony of St Laurent on the Saskatchewan" (folder #2).Subject heading:Source:PrivateFormer archival reference no.:MG27-IJ7 -
