Remembering Lord James Douglas-Hamilton
The Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs offers heartfelt condolences to the family of the late Lord James Douglas-Hamilton, known as Baron Selkirk of Douglas, who has recently passed away. His enduring friendship with former Chief Jim Bear of the Brokenhead Ojibway Nation served as a poignant symbol of the profound connections that exist within our First Nations.
Lord Selkirk’s ancestral ties trace back to the fifth Earl of Selkirk, who played a pivotal role in signing the historic Peguis-Selkirk Treaty of 1817. This milestone agreement was a significant step towards fostering peace and cooperation between Scottish settlers and First Nations, acknowledging the fundamental principles of land rights and governance.
As we approach the year 2024, we anticipate the installation of a monument commemorating Chief Peguis and the Peguis-Selkirk Treaty on Manitoba’s legislative grounds. This tribute is scheduled to coincide with the 160th anniversary of Chief Peguis’s passing, underscoring the enduring significance of this historical pact.
Lord Selkirk’s remarkable legacy, which includes his distinguished service spanning 23 years in the UK Parliament, serves as a testament to his unwavering respect for all individuals and underscores the profound importance of the Peguis-Selkirk Treaty. His memory will forever be intertwined with the enduring friendships he cultivated and the lasting impact of this historic agreement.
