Description
Plan of Cumberland Reserve, showing Chiefs Island and part of Cumberland Island.
Historical note:
The Cumberland House Cree signed an adhesion to Treaty 5 in September 1876, and a reserve was surveyed for them in 1883. This initial survey included an island (named Chief's Island) on which the chief, a councilor, and a number of the band's members resided.
