1859 Neebing Surrender is a sale of 6,300 acres of Fort William First Nation land.[1]
In Anishinabek News
- April 2022: The sale occurred under questionable circumstances only nine years after the signing of the Robinson Superior Treaty. The land, which included arable farmlands, eventually became part of Neebing Township in 1860. In 1930, approximately 1,700 acres were returned to Fort William First Nation because the land was deemed useless for residential or agricultural purposes.[1]
