Robinson-Superior claims : draft historical report.: R32-394/1986E-PDF

"Until 1830 the Imperial government's policy to Indians was directed towards securing their collarboration in time of war. In consequence, the duties of the successive superintendants of the Indian Department - who had military rank and received the same pay and allowances as their counterparts in the regular army - were confined "principally to the conveying of presents to the Indians and attending at the different stations where they assembled to receive them" with military pomp and display. After 1830, however, when the emphasis of policy changed to "civilizing" the Indians by encouraging settlement and agricultural pursuits, the practice of distributing presents came under periodic scrutiny"--Introduction, p. 1.
