Who are the Six Nations?
The Six Nations of the Grand River is the community located on the Grand River with whom Canada and Ontario are negotiating with respect to a number of issues including those arising out of the Caledonia situation. Following the 1783 Treaty of Paris that ended the American War of Independence, some of the people of the Iroquois Confederacy who were allies of the British Crown – composed of the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca and later, Tuscarora Nations – relocated from their homeland in the Finger Lakes region of New York state to settle along the Grand River.
