Special Note: Hundreds of Canadian local histories and records have been made freely available and searchable online at www.ourroots.ca. This site is not affiliated with Books We Own, but I included the link here as it should be of general interest to those researching roots in Canada.
See also under Metis Nation."Manitoba Scrip." Gail Morin; Quintin Publications. The Manitoba Scrip was issued to all Metis or Half-breeds and all original white settlers. Applications for the land scrip began June 1875 and continued until the early 1880's. This information was extracted from microfilmed copies of the documents. Manitoba Scrip equaled 160 acres. The book is a listing of those who applied for the Scrip and proof they supplied as identification. DF1
