(Redirected from Six Nations of the Grand River)

Six Nations of the Grand River is the name applied to two contiguous Indian reserves southeast of Brantford, Ontario, Canada – Six Nations reserve no. 40 and Glebe Farm reserve no. 40B. The original reserve was granted by Frederick Haldimand under the Haldimand Proclamation of October 1784 to Joseph Brant and his Iroquois followers in appreciation of their support for the Crown during the American Revolution. The original tract of land streched from the mouth of the Grand River on the shores of Lake Erie to the river's head, and for six miles from either bank, encompasing about 950 000 acres.

They later welcomed a group of Delawares to the reserve. The current reserves encompass 184.7 km² (71 mi²), all but 0.4 km² in Six Nations reserve no. 40.

Six Nations of the Grand River is the most populous reserve in Canada, with a population in 2001 of 21,474. The reserve is home to members of the following nations:

The reserve has both a traditional Iroquois council of chiefs and an elected band council conforming to Canadian government requirements.
