Summary
Big Bear met with Lieutenant Governor David Laird at Sounding Lake. He explained that treaty payments did not provide enough for Aboriginal people to live off of, and requested further aid.
Implications
There is little further information on whether Big Bear received increased aid, or whether David Laird even responded to the request.
