Historical note:
In 1876, the first consolidated Indian Act reflected the Canadian government's preoccupation with land management, First Nations membership and local government, and the ultimate goal of assimilation of Canada's Aboriginal population.Introduction and five archival documents chronicle Chief Levi General's attempts to have his petition regarding Iroquois nationalism heard at the Assembly of the League of Nations, the predecessor to the United Nations.
