HALDIMAND ACCOUNTING INSTRUMENT

Trust Corpus — Alienation Record — Outstanding Obligation

Living instrument. Part I (Trust Corpus) is complete. Part II (Alienation Record) is an ongoing record. Part III (Outstanding Obligation) is preliminary and subject to revision as the accounting is refined. Each update will be entered as a supplementary gazette entry cross-referenced to this entry.

Be it known and placed on record:

That the Secretariat of the Mohawk Nation of Grand River hereby enters the Haldimand Accounting Instrument, being the formal record of the trust corpus established by the Haldimand Proclamation of 1784, the subsequent alienation of lands from that corpus, and the Secretariat’s preliminary assessment of the Crown’s outstanding obligations. This instrument transforms the Secretariat’s constitutional assertions regarding the Haldimand obligations from legal declaration into auditable financial demand.

PART I — THE TRUST CORPUS

Original trust corpus: approximately 950,000 acres — the six-mile corridor on each side of the Grand River from source to mouth as described in the Haldimand Proclamation of 25 October 1784. Present Six Nations of the Grand River Reserve: approximately 46,500 acres. Unrestored territory: approximately 903,500 acres — 95.1% of the original grant.

Note: Within the 903,500-acre gap sits the entire urban area of Brantford, significant portions of Haldimand County, some of the most productive agricultural land in Ontario, and the full riparian corridor of the Grand River. A conservative valuation applying $12,000 per acre to the unrestored area yields a preliminary land value figure of approximately $10.8 billion, exclusive of urban land premiums, resource values, and riparian rights. A 32-year cumulative property sales volume within the Haldimand Tract of approximately $55 billion has been identified, with approximately $18 billion in development charges and building revenues collected without any instrument authorizing that collection as against the Mohawk Posterity. These revenues are held in trust by operation of law.

PART II — THE ALIENATION RECORD (ONGOING)

Phase 1 (1798–1835): Approximately 279,000 acres alienated through Indian Department sales — majority contested. Phase 2 (1835–1890): Approximately 305,000 acres — partially contested. Phase 3 (1890–2006): Approximately 260,000 acres — partially contested. The 2006 Specific Claims settlement of $145 million addressed specific categories of claim under Canadian domestic law and does not constitute satisfaction of the broader Haldimand obligations as asserted by this instrument.

PART III — THE OUTSTANDING OBLIGATION (PRELIMINARY)

The Secretariat formally demands that the Crown: produce a complete and audited accounting of all lands alienated from the trust corpus; engage directly with the Secretariat to negotiate satisfaction of the outstanding land restitution and revenue accounting obligations; credit the Haldimand Lands Trust Account with amounts not in dispute; and acknowledge in writing that the 2006 settlement did not resolve the full scope of the Haldimand obligations.

Note on the Beneficiary Class: The Haldimand Proclamation grants the Territory to the Mohawk posterity. The 2006 settlement was negotiated by parties representing the Six Nations band membership of approximately 6,000 persons. The Secretariat’s position is that the true beneficiary class — being all UE-designated posterity of the loyalist Mohawk of the three named villages, across all lines of descent — is materially larger than the band list reflects and was not properly represented in the 2006 settlement. The Haldimand Lands Trust Account must account for the full beneficiary class as determined by the Citizenship Determination Rules of this Register.

The Schedule of Unjust Enrichment (GZT001-050400-000062 [now GZT001-260109-000062]), entered as a formal exhibit to the Haldimand Lands Trust Account and cross-referenced to this instrument, establishes the conservative aggregate obligation at $2,955,610,000,000 CAD — approximately $2.96 trillion. That schedule is grounded in the Crown’s own 1994 Brantford municipal assessment ($250 billion), the City’s own acknowledgment that 90% of those lands remain under Mohawk national claim, and real property appreciation data. It covers eight distinct layers: land asset value, infrastructure capital, tax revenue, licensing and resource extraction, agricultural production, trade and industrial output, intellectual property and innovation, and water and natural resource value. No double-counting occurs between layers. The total is a floor — exclusive of compound interest on the original 1784 obligation and uncounted secondary economic multipliers.
