Euclid Bonin was the acting Indian agent for the Ojibbewas of Lake Superior, Western Division, at Port Arthur in 1905.[1]
Fort William Reserve
His report of 7 October 1905, for the year ended 30 June 1905, describes the Fort William Reserve as about 13,500 acres along the Mission and Kaministiquia rivers, with a band of about 292. He noted that the houses had not been whitewashed that year because the band expected to sell the reserve as the lake terminal of the Grand Trunk railway, the sale described in 1905 Railway Taking.[1] He was succeeded by Neil McDougall, appointed in February 1906.[2]
- Possibly the same as Euclid Bonin (c. 1879–1934), who died at Port Arthur. The two have not been matched on any fact beyond the name and the town.
