1875 Canadian Treaty No. 5 Medal, VF30
Jamieson-38, Rare With Pedigree Information
1875-Dated Canada Indian Treaty No. 5, Jamieson-38, Silver, VF30
NGC. McLachlan-30, Leroux-1191, Breton-29. 76 mm. Treaty No. 5
was signed by 30 different First Nations communities in Manitoba at
two different times. The southern area was negotiated in 1875 and
1876 and the northern part between 1908 and 1910. About 233,400
square miles of territory were ceded to the Crown in exchange for
an annuity of $5 for every man, woman, and child belonging to the
participating bands, among other minor obligations on the part of
the federal government. Each family of five was accorded 160 acres,
or an amount of land in proportion for larger or smaller families.
Like other numbered treaty medals, Treaty No. 5 representatives are
scarce. W.H. Hunter's collection included one, Ford had two, and
the Manitoba Museum has one. Three examples, including the present,
are in this Partrick Collection sale. Surely, others exist. This
impressive piece is well-worn, as a presented medal should be, with
steel-gray surfaces showing scattered marks on each side and around
the rims. The original hanger and suspension loop are present at 12
o'clock. Included with this lot is the ribbon that was used to
suspend the medal and a photo showing a chief wearing it.Ex: Warren Baker (3/1991); Donald G. Partrick.
