NOTICE OF ESTABLISHMENT — TRUST REGISTER
Trust Register — Mohawk Nation of Grand River
Be it known and placed on record:
That the Secretariat of the Mohawk Nation of Grand River hereby establishes the Trust Register as the official record of all trust relationships, fiduciary obligations, and trust instruments to which the Mohawk Nation of Grand River is a party, including and especially the trust obligations owed by the Crown in respect of the Grand River Territory.
CONSTITUTION AND PURPOSE
The Trust Register is held in the custody of the Registrar General and administered by the Director of Trust and Fiduciary Affairs under the oversight of the Treasurer General and the Attorney General. It records: the Crown’s trust obligations in respect of the Grand River Territory; revenues and financial benefits arising from those lands; trust instruments issued by the Secretariat; the Haldimand Lands Trust Account; and any settlements or distributions made in respect of trust obligations.
THE CROWN’S TRUST OBLIGATIONS
The Crown’s relationship to the Grand River Territory has, since the Haldimand Proclamation of 1784, been in the nature of a trust. Where the Crown has administered, leased, sold, or otherwise dealt with lands within the Territory, it has done so in a fiduciary capacity.
Strategic note: The documentation of the Crown’s trust obligations is the financial dimension of the Haldimand accounting. A precise and well-evidenced Trust Register transforms the Nation’s claim from a political assertion into an auditable financial demand.
EXECUTION
Executed under the authority of the Secretariat of the Mohawk Nation of Grand River.
