Grand River (Ontario)
The Grand River flows south through south-western Ontario into Lake Erie. Its valley lay in the lands of the Neutral Confederacy before the 1650s. In 1784 the Haldimand Proclamation granted land along it to the Six Nations of the Iroquois who had fought for Britain in the American Revolution, and Joseph Brant led Mohawk, Cayuga, Onondaga, Tuscarora and others there. The Six Nations of the Grand River is the most populous First Nations reserve in Canada.
