Theyearhascertainlypassedquickly. It's 17 degrees Celsiusoutside today and hard to cometo grips with the fact that weare only about a month awayfrom Christmas. What to getfor Christmas presents?
Looking back over the year,there are a number of highpoints which I will fondlyremember.
We had a wonderfulvolunteers' recognition day atWestfield Village that wasmade all the more interestingbecause our tour guide, GlennKilmer, was one of its founders.The weather was perfect forour long promised outing alongthe Grand River. The runningcommentary by one of theexperts in the history of thenavigation era, Bruce Hill made
the trip particularly worthwhile.The new staff have settled intothe museum program. TheHarrison Scheak "ex libris" and"Age of Chivalry" displays are a
good example of the quality ofwork that we can expect nextyear. Of course, the monthlylecture program series hasgone well, but the evening withJames Hillier was a stand out.
The Society and BCMA have anumber of challenges to face inthe upcoming year and newmillenium. The greatestchallenge will be maintaining .and improving the quality of thework we do under greaterfinancial restraints from ourfunding partners.
This brings me full circle to theopening question -what to getfor Christmas. Instead of the
ecbox of chocolates youinevitably send, consider somegifts that are unique and wouldsupport the Society and BCMAat the same time. Some booksfrom the gift shop? BHSmemberships and a day at themuseum for stocking stuffers?Why not! You misht actuallyraise a friend's awareness ofour heritage instead of theircholesterol level.

The Millennium -Year 2000 -Y2K and All ThatBy Ruth LeflerThink back a millennium ago. InEurope, the Middle Ages wereslowly rising out of the ruins ofthe Roman Empire and the DarkAges. New political andeconomic institutions, whichwere tied closely to the church,were developing. The churchgrew in numbers and instrength.
In what is now SouthernOntario, virgin forests, pureclean lakes, streams and riverscovered the area. The FirstNations People cameseasonally, primarily to hunt andfish.
The time line moves alongthrough 900 years of `development. In 1900 theBrownie Camera, manufacturedby Kodak, entered thephotographic world. The paperclip was also invented in thisyear to help keep the paperworid more organized.
Locally, settlements by bothFirst Nations and Europeans
had taken place and villages,towns and cities had beenestablished. Brantford wasknown as the "Telephone City"and it was third in importanceamong the exporting cities inCanada. It was the 13th largestcity in Canada with a populationof 16,685. There were 61 milesof public streets,12 miles ofcement sidewalks and 151/2miles of street sewers.
Mr. Harry Cockshutt, Mayor,was assisted by 15 aldermen -R.E. Ryerson, S. Suddaby, A.G.Montgomery, R. Hall, J. Kerr, R.Middlemiss, R. Waddington,A.L. Baird, B.J. Wade, S.F.Witham, W. Glover, J. Muir,D.B. Wood, J.A. Leitch and A.Weir.
Public Transportation wasprovided by the Brantford StreetRailway Company. In 1900 theraitway was electricallyoperated. Eisht miles of trackserved the citizens in takingthem to and from work,shopping and to Mohawl< Park
for a day's outing.
Railroads provided an excellentway of getting goods, productsand passengers in and out ofBrantford. The Grand TrunkRailway, which carried twothirds of the trade to and fromBrantford , The Toronto,Hamilton and Buffalo Railway(T.H. & 8.) and the Lake Erieand Northern Electric Raitway(L.E. & N.) were key to the area.
The Brantford Board of Tradewas organized in 1866 to helpexpand the trade of the city. In1900, when Mayor J.S.Hamilton was president, therewere 45 manufacturingestablishments in the city withagricultural implements andmachinery in the lead. Therewere 3, 896 people employed inthe factories. One of theadvertisements for Brantfordstated that the working mancould own his own home.Throughout the city many"Brantford" cottages can be

The Tuscarora Township SquattersBy Roger sharpe (PART ONE)
The story of the Six Nationspeople having been grantedland along the Grand River isvery familiar for most people ofBrant County. The story of howthe Six Nations, through theyears, divested themselves oflarge tracts, and individual lots,is also familiar but the struggleto remove and discourage theencroachment of squatters onthe Tuscarora TownshipReserve is a story that has notbeen fully told. It is the storyabout some settlers who hadresided for years on land inTuscarora Township, improvingtheir fams, only to be told thatTuscarora was being made aReserve where only aboriginalpeople could have land. It isalso about squatters who tried totake advantage of the naivete ofsome aboriginal people'sunderstanding of the nature Ofland ownership and aboutothers who obstinately refusedto leave the TuscaroraTownship Reserve.Swarms of land-hungry settlerswere moving westward duringthe 1830's and 1840's and,because of this, the Six Nationswere having difficulties withsquatters. A squatter wassomeone who settled on land towhich he had notitle. Thispractice threatened to leave theSix nations people scatteredamong white settlers in isolatedsettlements. The settlers werecoming into the fertile Grand
River Valley, marking out lots,then settling on them eventhough it was known to beIndian land. From documents, itseems that the squatters were,in some cases, beingencouraged by local aboriginalpeople and the IndianDepartment, while at other timesthey were discouraged fromsquatting.The report of the ChiefSuperintendent of the IndianDepartment, Samuel P. Jarvis,desoribed the problem as, "Theintrusion upon, and occupationof these lands, so frequentlycomplained of by the Indians,are in many instances of so longa standing, and the interpositionof Government on their behalfhas hitherto been so tardy andineffectual that I really believethat both the Intruders and theIndians doubt the will, as well asthe ability of the Government togrant redress. To remove thesepeople in a body from the landswhich they occupy would be toinflict absolute ruin upon manyhundreds industriousinhabitants. From informationwhich I have received, I ampersuaded that a great manyhave been induced by personsin the employment ofGovernment to settle uponIndian lands, and have held outto them the prospect, that at nodistant day the lands thusacquired would be confirmed byPatent under the Great Seal of
the province. The evil has nowreached to such an extent thatunless some prompt andenergetic measures are adoptedand enforced by Government,the Indians must soon bedeprived of the best portions oftheir inheritance... As thecondition of these lands hasarisen partly from the imbecilityand the neglect of theGovernment in not protectingthe interest of the Indians, amedium course should bepursued."ln the beginning this did notseem to be much of a problem.White settlers it was believedwould help aboriginal farmersiinprove their agricultural skillsby providing a good example.When the masses of settlersbegan coming it seemed likecontrol of the squatter problemwas being lost. Along with theoccupation of their land, the Sixnations complained thatsquatters were openingnumerous roads through thevirgin tract without theirpermission. The squatterscomplained that the lack ofroads was an obstacle to thesettlement and improvement ofthe surrounding countrybecause it created difficultiestrying to move in or through theGrand River Tract. Settlers inother areas were subject to lawsrequiring them to maintain roadsthrough the area they occupied.

With 6 workmen, the CockshuttPlow Co. began its operations in1878. By 1900, the factorycovered 3 acres on MohawkStreet and from 1895 to 1901,business had increased fourtimes over. Their farmimplements were shipped worldwide.
The Waterous Engine WorksCo., that stood across from thepresent day Civic Centre onMarket Street, was built in 1895.Four hundred men wereemployed manufacturingengines, boilers, saw-millmachinery, road rollers, rockcrushers, fire engines and pulpmaking machinery. The firstpumping engine used at theBrantford Waterworks wasmanufactured in the Waterousplant.
Many people in Brantford havecollected the paper coveredwooden box which oncecontained Lily White GlossStarch manufactured by theBrantford Starch Company onCanal Road. The company,employing 45 people,manufactured a variety ofstarches for domestic andcommercial use.
At Colborne and Bain Streets, in1888, D.B. and W.B. Woodestablished the Brant RollerMills. Two hundred barrels offlour, from wheat grown on localfarms, was turned out from this
3 storey building. Brands suchas Golden Crown, Five Seals,and Veteran were shippedthroughout Canada and GreatBritain.
Many tales from 1900 are toldabout Friday and Saturdaynights in downtown Branfford.On each Saturday, local farmersbrought their produce to theMarket Square while localcitizens patronized the farmers.Both groups did their othershopping in the stores aroundthe Square.
The Turnbull, Howard and Co.hardware store was located atthe corner of King and ColborneStreets. It soid a variety ofhardware, house furnishings and
the Happy Thought Stove whichwas manufactured by Win. BuckStove Co. of Brantford.
At 144 Colborne Street, Graftonand Co. operated a men'sclothing store. Their specialtywas canying attractive, high-grade, union-made clothing.
Coles Brothers operated a fineshoe store for both ladies andgentlemen at 122 ColborneStreet. On the second floor theycarried valises and trunks.
Sutheriand's store, across fromthe Market Square on ColborneStreet, carried fine china,figurines, clocks, lamps, andleather goods on the first floor. A

The Indian land was not subjectto these laws and this createdthe problem which somesquatters tried to soive bycreating their own roads.The Six Nations alsocomplained that, "Theyfrequently open small groceryshops, or stores, wherespurious liquors are sold to theIndians, and that the Indians willnot only buy some, but will partwith their clothes, presents,guns etc. to procure it." Alcoholwas a continual problem whichthe government tried numeroustimes to control through Actsoutlawing this practice. In 1801it was made illegal, in 1835 afine of 5 pounds was imposedand in 1840 it was increased to20 pounds. It was problems likethese that were forcing the Sixnations and the Government todeal decisively with squatters.When it was decided to have aReserve exclusively formembers of the Six Nationsanother problem developed. Nomatter where the Six nationschose, there were white settlerssquatting. If an area was to begiven solely to the Six Nations,some squatters would have togive up their land. The SixNations chose the area, nowcalled Tuscarora Township,south of the upper Grand RiverValley for their reserved land.When the time came to clear
the land for the Indians, theauthorities had a very difficulttime removing settlers, some ofwhom, it was said, had spenteight to ten years developingtheir farms. This unfortunate
situation would have inevitablyled to one squatter on theTuscarora side of the townshipline having to leave while hisneighbour, squatting on theBranfford side of the townshipline, was allowed to keep hisland. The apparent inequitywas overshadowed by theaboriginal people's right tocontrol their own land. On May1 1 , 1830, the Governmentpassed the Act 2 Vic. Ch.15,"An Act for the Protection of the
Lands of the Crown in thisProvince From Trespass andInjury." lt allowed theLieutenant Governor to appointCommissioners to receiveinformation and inquire intocomplaints made to themagainst persons illegally takingpossession of Indian land.Such a person would be told toleave within 30 days. If this wasnot complied with, theCommissioners couid issue awarrant to the sheriff to havehim ejected. If this personreturned, he could be jailed for30 days and possibly made topay a fine not exceeding 20pounds. All moneys collectedwere to be paid to the Crown onbehalf Of the Province orappropriated on behalf of theIndian tribes.In January 1840 Commissionerswere appointed to carry out theprovisions of the Act. Thestatute was first used on the SixNations Reserve and judgmentswere entered against a largenumber of what the Governmentcalled, "intruders." They wereordered to leave and the sum of700 pounds was eventually
gained for the Six Nations'funds through the legal actionsof what the Governmentdescribed as the, "plunder andtrespass then being committedupon the tract."An example of the previous lawwas the case of Burril Bakerwho was charged with illegallybeing in pcesession of SixNations' land. James Winniett,the Six Nations' Superintendent,and a Commissioner, signed awarrant that stated 30 days hadexpired since Baker had beengiven due notice to removehimself from the land hepossessed. Since he had notleft, the Warrant ordered theSheriff to eject and remove him.In August 1840 John W.Gwynne, a Toronto Barrister,was sent, with Six Nations'Superintendent James Winniett,to investigate the nature of theclaims of persons in possessionof land along the Grand Riverand the extent of theirimprovements. Improvementsmeant houses, barns and shedsthat were added to the originalproperty. He was also to makerecommendations aboutimproving the situation. OnTuesday, August 18,1840,Gwynne held a meeting atDoyle's Inn, in Brantford. whereall parties claiming Indian landcould come and present proof oftheir claims. His reportrecommended that theGovernment take control of thesquatter situation by selling theland on behalf of the Sixnations. He also recommendedthe whole tract be surveyed and

bindery operation was locatedon the fourth floor. Here,ledgers, cash books and officediaries were made for localmanufacturers, offices andbanks.
These are but a few of themanufacturers and businessesin Brantford in 1900. It was atime of revitalization andincreasing prosperity followingthe depression of the early1890's.
Brantford is at the threshold ofthe year 2000. Once againBrantford is shaking off itsdepressed state and is makingpositive strides. The city hasbecome more accessible withthe completion of highway 403,industries and businesses areestablishing themselves in thecommunity, an extension of SirWilfred Laurier University is verymuch alive in the downtowncore and, of course, the mostrecent newcomer to the city isthe Charity Casino whichemploys almost 800 people.
Many positive signs show thatBrantford is now movingforward. May the future continueto hold revitalization andprosperity.
Happy New Year!

Sir JohnColbourne, Lieutenant-Governorof Upper Canada, hadsuggested the establishment ofReserves and selling of Indianland as supported by Sir JamesKempt, the Administrator ofLower Canada. Sir GeorgeMurray, Secretary of War andthe Colonies, approved of thesechanges in policy in 1830, soGwynne was just following thenew policy of the IndianDepartment.An Order in Council datedNovember 27,1840, which wasbased on the above Report,recommended that the SixNations surrender their land tothe Government who wouldkeep it in trust and sell it for theirsole benefit. It alsorecommended, "That all personsreporfed as resident settlers, upto the date of the present Orderin Council, be considered tliefirst applicants, and entitled tothe right of preemption (firstchance to purchase) for sixcalendar months thereafter."This would allow establishedsquatters, outside of TuscaroraTownship, to purchase the landthey lived on before the generalpublic had a chance to buy it.On January 15,1841, thesuggestion was put to the SixNations that their lands bedisposed of to the Crown to besold on their behalf at auction.After discussion and debate thiswas agreed to on January 18,1841. Itseemed tothe
Winter 1999
Government to be the wisestsolution to the difficult situation.It does not however seem tohave been approved by allchiefs. There was some dissentamong aboriginal leaders as tothis solution. Six Chiefs of theSix Nations eventually signedthe Instrument surrendering theland. Another delegationapproached Lord Sydenham,the Governor General, toexpress their dissatisfaction but,by that time, the disputedsurrender had already beenratified and an order issued todivide the land. Chief williamJohnson Kerr wrote toSydenham of their view saying,"the surrender of land made and
signed by a few Chiefs lastwinter, has not given generalsatisfaction." Th.Ls was followedby a formal petition to theGovernor General by thedissenting Chiefs on July 7,1841, but nothing ever came oftheir effort.
