The research for the Report was undertaken as part of a larger project on Kwantlen history directed by Duncan McLaren. The Report presents the history of Reserve allocations chronologically in two main sections: Part I, Colonial Reserves, presents the history of Reserve allocations during the Colonial Period, 1858-1871. This section describes the allocation by Governor James Douglas of four Kwantlen Reserves between 1858 and 1864, and the subsequent reduction of two of those Reserves by Chief Commission of Lands and Work, J.W. Trutch in 1868-1869. Part II, Federal Reserves, presents the history of Reserve allocations in the period following Confederation in 1871 to the final transfer of Indian Reserves within the Railway Belt to the Department of Indian Affairs by Privy Council Order in Council 208 in 1930. The focus of Part II is on the Kwantlen Reserves allocated by Indian Reserve Commissioner G. M. Sproat in 1878. Documents During the research undertaken for this Report more than 300 historic documents were collected that refer to Kwantlen Nation and their lands during the period from 1858 to 1930. These documents include correspondence, reports, maps, field notebooks and other material created by various government officials and their representatives. The documents
