In a petition dated June 24, 1843, the Chiefs of Six Nations reserved for their future residence all the lands including Onondaga Township, lands presently occupied by the members of Six Nations.
In a report of the Committee of the Executive Council of Canada of August 3, 1843, the Committee recommended that lands on the north side of the Grand River resided upon and improved by members of Six Nations (Onondaga Township) not be considered within the purported surrender and be reserved for Six Nations.
Subsequently the Order-in-Council dated October 4, 1843, acceded to the request by Six Nations to have the lands as petitioned for on the North Side of the River reserved for them in Onondaga Township.
On December 13 and 18, 1844, Six Nations reaffirmed their wish to retain 3,600 acres in Onondaga Township.
Once again on January 20, 1845, Six Nations confirmed their wish to retain 3,600 acres in Onondaga Township. David Thorburn, Special Commissioner, reported that if 3,600 acres are to be reserved on the North side, an equal amount shall be deducted from the General Reserve on the South side.
ALLEGATIONS
In or about 1843, the Crown reserved specific lands for Six Nations and as of 1995 the Six Nations Reserve consists of approximately 45,482.951 acres, being only a small portion of the lands said to be reserved for Six Nations.
Lots 10-14, Concession II and Lots 6-15, Concession III in the Township of Onondaga were to form a part of the area to be reserved for the Six Nations Indians.
These lands were never included in the purported surrender of 1841. There is no lawful surrender from Six Nations to the Crown for the sale of any portion of the lands reserved for Six Nations.
