I have received from the Governor General of Canada the enclosed extract from a Report of the Committee of the Canadian Privy Council approved by His Excellency on September 20th last, concerning a claim of the Cayuga Indians residing in Canada to participate in certain annuities paid by the State of New York. I venture to forward to you this correspondence unofficially with the request that you will kindly favour me with your opinion, should you have no objection to doing so, as to the likelihood of the claim meeting with favorable consideration should it be officially presented, having regard to the fact that it was recognized on two occasions (in 1890 and 1891) by the Senate of the State of New York, though the bills for the necessary appropriation were defeated in the assembly. Extract from a Report of the Committee of the Honourable the Privy Council, approved by His Excellency on the 20th. September, 1897. On a report dated 1st. September 1897, from the Superintendent General of Indian Affairs, stating that he has had under consideration a communication, hereto attached, of Mr. V. McKenzie, dated August 7th, 1897, enclosing a statement of a claim of the Cayuga Indians of Canada to certain annuities payable by the State of New York, which statement was called for by an Order in Council dated January 25th 1897, for transmission to Her Majesty's Ambassador at Washington in order to have the claim laid before the proper United States Authorities. The Committee on the recommendation of the Superintendent General of Indian Affairs recommend that Your Excellency be moved to forward a copy of this Minute, if approved to Her Majesty's Ambassador at Washington, with a request that he will use his good offices to have the claim brought to the notice of the proper authorities of the United States. All which is respectfully submitted for Your Excellency's approval JOHN J. MCGEE Clerk of the Privy Council. [Enclosure 2.] 34 Queen Street. BRANTFORD. ONT. August 7th, 1897. To His Excellency, The Right Honourable John Campbell Hamilton Gordon, Earl of Aberdeen, Governor-General of the Dominion of Canada. May it please Your Excellency:— I have the honour to enclose a statement of the claim of the Cayuga Indians, residents of Canada, to certain annuities payable by the State of New York, and which I now enclose Your Excellency in accordance with instructions I had the honour of receiving from the Honourable the Privy Council in their report approved of by Your Excellency or the 25th. day of January, 1897, for transmission by Your Excellency to Her Majesty's Ambassador at Washington. I have the honor to be. Your Excellency's Obedient Servant. (sd.) V. MACKENZIE. |
