This map depicts the parish of St. Peter, the most northerly parish of the original Red River Settlement. As is typical of Métis settlements, the land is divided into long and narrow river lots. It shows dimensions and acreage of lots, land under cultivation and woodlands. The site of St. Peter's parish originated as Cree, Saulteaux, and Métis camps and communities, and developed into a thriving agricultural parish from the 1830s onward. The land was surveyed as a reserve of present-day Peguis First Nation after Red River Settlement was brought into Confederation. However, the agriculturally successful reserve came under racist and prejudicial treatment from white settlers and government officials. In 1908, the Department of Indian Affairs pushed through an illegitimate land surrender that forced the people of Peguis First Nation to relocate north to their present-day reserves off of Lake Winnipeg.
