Scope and content

This item consists of a discussion between Joe LeMouel and an unidentified man that occurs as they review the LeMouel family's scrip applications and receipts. The original source item is side A of a 60 minute audio cassette tape. The scrip is dated July 7, 1924 and was issued to Joe, his mother Mary Rose, brother Jean Marie, and sister Dora. Mary Rose's father was Jean Baptiste Bouvier, who submitted a separate application. Joe and the other speaker discuss the similarities and differences in rights between Treaty Indians and "half-breeds" (as Joe refers to people of mixed ancestry). The men also discuss why money scrip was provided instead of land scrip and what the understanding of recipients was about what the scrip was for and what rights they retained as Indigenous peoples. Joe also talks a little about his family history, describing how his father came to the Fort Providence Mission as a brother (or perhaps a novice), but left the Mission to work for the Hudson's Bay Company and as a trapper when he saw the opportunities available. The family subsequently moved to Rae (Behchoko), Arctic Red River (Tsiigehtchic), and Wrigley before Joe's father died and his mother moved them back to Fort Providence to be near extended family.
