| 释义 |
John Bland (? – c. 1825) was probably born in Devon, England and became notable in Canadian history for his time spent in Newfoundland. Bland was probably active in Newfoundland as early as 1780 in a mercantile capacity. He became a magistrate at Bonavista, Newfoundland in 1790 and was active in commerce at that time. In 1801 he became a surrogate court judge which paid a regular salary. By that time he was well established in the community. Bland is noteworthy for his advocacy on behalf of the Beothuk people during a documented period from 1797-1807 where his letters to various governors at St. Johns identify a number of issues and proposed solutions.
