Elijah: They were not too thrilled…they were kind of forced into signing the Treaty. They were intimidated in a way because they saw a mountie with a gun. What are you going to do.
Question: Did people know why the mountie was there?
Elijah: There was an elder by the name of Jeremiah Stoney. This is what he said. When the Commissioner had asked George Bluecoat to sign the Treaty, he didn’t give him time to think about it. He just stamped his feet. So George signed it.
