The Caldwells of Point Pelee and Pelee Island : a brief history and survey of documents / by Laurie Leclair ; for Treaties and Historical Research Centre, Indian and Northern Affairs Canada.: R32-324/1988E-PDF

"The following report presents a brief history of the Caldwell band claims to Point Pelee and Pelee Island based on available archival materials, archaeological reports, historical documentation and personal interviews. The work is subdivided into sections beginning with a segment on the Ojibwa prehistory of Southwestern Ontario which evolves into an account of the early history of the Caldwell band. The succeeding sections offer brief summaries of the Caldwell band's claim to Pelee Island and Point Pelee. The fourth section discusses the continuity of the band and includes a quick-reference chart of population statistics. The fifth section summarizes a forty-year span of Indian Department correspondence concerning the Caldwell claims. Finally, the last section considers the connection between the Caldwell claims and Walpole Island Indian Reserve"--Preface, p. ii.
