Index to Mackenzie River District NWT Half-Breed Claims, Authorized by Order-in-Council of the 12th April, 1921 (P.C. 1172) and Chap. 44, 13/14 Geo. V, Section 8, Assented to 30-6-1923

An alphabetical index to Métis claimants in the Mackenzie River District which were collected in connection with the signing of Treaty 11. The first set of entries in the register were made in 1921 by Henry A. Conroy. These were later supplemented in 1924 by applications received by J.A. McDougal and J.F. Moran. Both the 1921 and the 1924 entries give the name of the claimant; the date and place of the claimant's birth; the names of the claimant's parents; his/her application number (as assigned by the Commission); the place where the application was made; the date of the application; and comments on whether or not the application was approved, and if approved, if a receipt was issued. In some cases, the number of the claimant's case file is also noted. These case files are now retained by Library and Archives Canada in RG 15, series D II 1, Dominion Lands Branch, Correspondence, which is described elsewhere.
