Treaties were negotiated with England, Queen Victoria I think it was, at a nation to nation basis, in recognition of the assistance that the natives had given the British. Canada is the only country in the commonwealth were such treaties were made. Everywhere else the English simply proclaimed themselves as owning everything.<br>

My take would be given we don't have as many mappers on the ground as we would like and some one may find this information to be of value so leave it in the map until it fades away because of the CT tags. You never know some one might take an interest in it and update it, currently it would seem to be the best information available.</span><br>

Although this shouldn’t stop people from mapping them, I believe it should stop them from being imported.<u></u><u></u></p>
