The Secretariat · the Register of the Nation
The Book of Life
The Membership and Lineage Registry of the Nation — the Manor Roll — and those proved of the class upon it.
The class is the Mohawks of Canajoharie, Tikondarago and Aughgugo who adhered to the Crown before the Treaty of Paris of 1783 and lost their settlements for it, and their posterity. A person comes onto this roll one way only: a line proved generation by generation to a Loyalist Mohawk of one of the three villages, on evidence banked in the Nation’s Register, sworn on oath before a magistrate, and determined by the Registrar General. The Nation holds its own Register; the roll below is what it shows of it.
The roll is not new. It is the Manor Roll, kept since 2 January 2024 under the Birth and Heritage Registrar Directive and recognised by the Register in Gazette No. 21 as the official Book of Life of the Mohawk Nation of Grand River, in the custody of the Registrar General. The registers of the Chapel of the Mohawks, kept from 1786, stand with it as primary constitutional evidence.

No one has yet asked to be named on the published roll. The Register holds the proofs either way.
To be proved. The path is the Nation’s own: build the line from your own record in My Register, bank the evidence for each link, swear the oath of descent before a magistrate, and the Registrar General determines the file. The certification is LMC001, and it is yours whether or not you are named here.
Nobody is named on this roll unless they have said they may be. Nothing is shown but the name, the ancestor and village, the generations proved, and the Record Code.
