Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Handbook to Winnipeg and the Province of Manitoba: Prepared for the 79th Annual Meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, 1909; With Notes on Some of the Chief Points to Be Visited on the Western Excursion Around the pageant enacted at Sault Ste. Marie by Sieur de St. Lusson in 1670 gathered the interest of the French nation in the Canadian West, when, in the name of Louis XIV., the Commissioner took possession of "Sainte Marie de Saut," as also of Lakes Huron and Superior, the island of Manitoulin, and all countries, rivers, lakes and streams contiguous and adjacent there unto. A cedar cross was raised, and upon it the royal arm of France were fixed. Seventeen Indian tribes were invited to the spectacle, even the far distant Crees and Assiniboines. None of these tribes disputed the French claim. In the same year Charles II, King of Great Britain and Ireland, gave to the Hudson´s Bay Company "all the lands, countries and territories upon the coasts and confines of the seas, streights, bays, lakes, rivers, creeks and sounds lying within the entrance of the streights commonly called Hudson´s streights," with one limitation, viz., except those "which are not now actually possessed by any of our subjects, or by the subjects of any other Christian prince or state." Here then came in the French claim that their occupation of the Canadian West was first, and here, in after days, arose the claim of Canada for the territory held by the Hudson´s Bay Company.
