Saugeen Tract Agreement

Sausage Tract Agreement, registered as Crown Treaty Number 45+1⁄2, was signed August 9, 1836, between the Sausage Ojibwa and Ottawa and the government of Upper Canada. Sir Francis Bond Head used this occasion for the provincial government's annual distribution of gifts to the Ojibwa and Ottawa of the Sausage Peninsula (Bruce Peninsula) to negotiate the treaty. In exchange for 1.5 million acres (6,070 km²) of land, the Ojibwa and Ottawa of Sausage received only a promise to assist and protect Indians who took up residence on the Bruce Peninsula.
