Abstract

Phil Monture of Six Nations of the Grand River talks about the Haldimand Treaty of 1784. The treaty covers lands for six miles on each side of the Grand River from Lake Erie to its source. Monture, who has been researching this history for almost 40 years, provides a historical overview of various land transactions and will discuss current Six Nations efforts in Canada and at the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Peoples to have their land claim resolved.
