Name
Genre Indian Agent Report
Abstract Indian Agent Chiasson reported that most of the work being done at Pictou Landing Reserve was basketry and making axe handles. Stated that the depressed economy is limiting opportuniries to sell goods in neighbouring towns.
Note "The only work available at present consists of the making of baskets and axe handles, the market for these articles is fair but the selling price is rather small, e.g. shopping baskets are sold to the merchants of Halifax for 10 cents each. Christmas wreaths were sold around Christmas time but the market was not as good as last year on account of depressed conditions in neighbouring towns."
