It required that treaties be struck with Indigenous leaders if and when use of the land was requird by the English. The Mississauga people were identified as owning the land north of Lake Ontario, including Prince Edward County. The English made several treaties with the Mississauga people, ceding tracts of land for settlement. The islands around around Prince Edward County were specifically maintained under the Mississuaga up until 1856 when the Crown made a deal to cede them. During the time of settlement, from the 1780s, individual settlers came to Waupoos Island and paid annual rent payments to the Mississauga people in order to use the land.
