| Your papers | the passport and your credential card, with Record Code and Edge Mark |
| Your money | an account at the Treasury in Grand River dollars |
| Your business | on the Register’s registry |
| Your land | notices of the Nation’s interest beside the provincial register |
| Your voice | the Gazette, and your say in it |
| Your privacy | kept to the Register’s rules; you see who has looked |
Who it is for
The descendants of some of the Mohawks of Canajoharie, Tikondarago and Aughgugo who stood with the Crown, wherever they live today, and those the Nation receives by its law of adoption. Nearly everyone on the reserve descends from a Loyalist; the test is a line to one of the three villages.
