1900 - January 15th - Grand Chief John Denny writes to the Indian Agent, Reverend Dr. R.P. Cameron that he and the other Mi'kmaq will not sign the surrender that Indian Affairs has provided to them, as the amount of dollars they will receive is very small and will not be enough to purchase a 5 acre piece of land. They ask for a guarantee that they will get 5 acres of land if they surrender the King's Road Indian Reserve.
