Who We Are
The Six Nations of the Grand River unifies all Haudenosaunee peoples under the Great Tree of Peace. We are currently the only First Nation community that includes all six Haudenosaunee nations. Located along the banks of the Grand River, the Six Nations of the Grand River is the most populous First Nation in Canada.
We have a long and rich history with Settler Canada, stretching back to the American Revolution when we were allied with the British in return for our loyalty, we were promised lands under the Treaty of Haldimand. Our current territory is only a fraction of the promised area.
Vision
With the knowledge and guidance of our Haudenosaunee values; our people will enjoy a healthy, content, safe and self-sustaining diverse community.
Mission
The Haudenosaunee values and principles guide, strengthen and advance our community, programs and services, now and for the next Seven Generations.
