MOHAWK NATION OF GRAND RIVER
The Million Acre Wall
THE SEASON OF 2026
25 October 1784
The Proclamation of Sir Frederick Haldimand:
the Grand River, six miles deep on each side,
from its mouth to its head, to the Mohawk and
such others as wish to settle.
Some 950,000 acres
Six miles either side of the Grand from its
mouth to its head — about 384,000 hectares,
the Tract as the Proclamation describes it.
760,000 · 674,910 · 46,000
The Crown’s own plaque at the Chapel of the
Mohawks says 760,000 acres were granted to the
Mohawks; Thomas Ridout’s survey of 1821 drew
the Tract at 674,910 acres by stopping at the
Falls near Elora; the reserve today holds
about 46,000.
The Grand
About 280 kilometres from the Dundalk
highlands to the lake at Port Maitland.
35,820 acres
2 marks of support on the wall this season.
Every acre is kept
Each mark has its Record Code, its plan and
its certificate, and stands on the wall for
good.
