Treaty 10 Commission

Money Scrip

Dept. of the Interior, RG 15, Series D II 8f, Money Scrip to Métis, 1876-1927, 3.0 m, vols. 1387 to 1403.

This series contains all the cancelled notes for money scrip awarded by the Department of the Interior to Métis claimants of the Province of Manitoba and the North-West Territories. The notes issued by the Treaty 10 Commission are not identified in this series as a separate block of records, but instead are inter-filed with the notes awarded by all the Métis scrip commissions. All claimants for money scrip under Treaty 10 were awarded $240. The scrip was delivered as one $80 note and one $160 note. The recipients of money scrip awarded by J.A. McKenna are listed in volumes 1537 and 1516, and those awarded by Borthwick in volume 1516. The scrip notes are retained by Library and Archives Canada in their numerical order. All the recipients of $80 scrip under Treaty 10 are listed in finding aid FA15-24, parts 19 to 22; and of $160 scrip in finding aid FA15-24, parts 23 to 25. To find the note awarded to a particular claimant when the number of the scrip note is unknown, researchers should first refer to the delivery register (RG 15, volume 1520, described elsewhere) to obtain the scrip note number, and then to the appropriate parts of finding aid FA15-24 to find the RG 15 volume number where the note is stored.
