A reference guide to the establishment of Indian reserves in British Columbia, 1849-1911 / Prepared by: Dorothy I.D. Kennedy ; Prepared for: Claims and Historical Research Centre ; with an Introduction...: R32-490/1994E-PDF
"The development of Indian reserve land policy in British Columbia, which evolved in the colonial period, differed significantly from that of Canada. The colonial office in London took no active position regarding the affairs of Indians on Vancouver Island and mainland British Columbia and encouraged the idea that the character of Indian Affairs must develop on-the-spot in the Colony. Since the imperial authorities knew little about the Native people of this area, Indian policy was largely dictated by local officials"--Introduction, p. 1.
