Earl Selkirk on July 3, 1817, made a treaty with the Crees or Knistineaux, and the "Chippewa or Saulteaux."
The Ojibways being a party in this treaty, Ross[1] writes, "gave great umbrage to the Crees, who in consequence have repeatedly threatened to drive them back to their old haunts about Lake Superior."
In the census of 1883, they are computed with the Crees, and enumeration is therefore omitted.
