Administrative history
In 1922, the Royal Commission on Reindeer and Musk-ox recommended the establishment of experimental reindeer herds in selected regions in Canada's north. Following the submission of this report, the federal government made arrangements to purchase a herd of reindeer from Alaska and on March 6, 1935, control of the herd was transferred to the Canadian government. In 1932, the federal government established an Inter-departmental Committee on Reindeer Policy to assist in the administration of reindeer herding activities. In 1933, this committee was renamed the Inter-departmental Reindeer Committee. The Committee consisted of representatives from a number of federal agencies, including the Northwest Territories Council, the National Museum, the Dominion Lands Administration, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), the Department of Indian Affairs, the National Parks Branch and the Department of Agriculture as well as various expert guests.
