- June 2013: It was created in the late 1850s to shift the costs of administering Indigenous affairs from Britain to Canada. The fund was supported by interest taken from the trust accounts of various First Nations.[2]
- September 2013: The Indian Land Management Fund was created using money taken from First Nation accounts and sustained by fees from land surrenders and resource developments. Interest and capital from the Indian Land Management Fund paid for the salaries, rent, and travel expenses of Indian Agents in Ontario and Quebec. The Indian Land Management Fund was shut down during 1912 or 1913.[1]
