Contested Haudenosaunee Six Nations Confederacy Lands, Grand River

The area outlined in red represents the Haudenosaunee Confederacy's Grand River lands in 1784. According to the Haudenosaunee, much of this land was never lawfully surrendered and still belongs to them. According to the Canadian government, only the area in purple --about 5% of the total 1784 land holdings-- remains in Haudenosaunee hands. Users can roll over shapes on the map, or turn on additional map layers for more information.
