 Opinions of the Solicitor of the Department of the Interior Relating to Indian Affairs p.2051-2075
The second interpretation is that the reference to fractional portions of the northeast quarter and the northwest quarter of section 30 are words not merely of description but of limitation, and that therefore the Indians could not claim any land west of section 30.

The effect of what was done was to reserve in a general way for the continued occupation of the Indians what remained of their aboriginal territory; and thus it came to be known and recognized as a reservation.

 Justifying the End of Official Bilingualism: Canada’s North-West Assembly and the Dual Language Question, 1889-1892
In the months preceding the opening of the first North-West Assembly on October 31, 1888, and then again during the assembly’s initial sessions, the territorial newspapers assailed the French language and official bilingualism, praised the ascendancy of the English language and the British heritage, and appealed for the creation of a homogeneous Canadian nationality.
In 1905, when two new provinces, Alberta and Saskatchewan, were carved out of the North-West Territories, their constitutions made no direct reference to language rights, although each carried over existing territorial laws and regulations, until such time as the provincial legislatures should see fit to make modifications.
Territorial elections were held about a month later, and the North-West Legislative Assembly was convened on December 10, 1891.
