Quebec and Territories depending thereon, &e., &e., &e., General and Commander

in Chief of His Majesty’s Forces in said Province and the Frontiers thereof, &c.,

&e., &e.

Whereas His Majesty having been pleased to direct that in consideration of the
early attachment to His cause manifested by the Mohawk Indians and of the loss of
their settlement which they thereby sustained that a convenient tract of land under
His protection should be chosen as a safe and comfortable retreat for them and others
of the Six Nations who have either lost their settlements within the Territory of the
American States or wish to retire from them to the British. I have at the earnest
desire of many of these His Majesty’s faithful allies purchased a tract of land from
the Indians situated between the Lakes Ontario, Erie and Huron, and I do hereby in
His Majesty’s name authorize and permit the said Mohawk Nation and such others of
the Six Nation Indians as wish to settle in that quarter to take possession of and settle
upon the banks of the river commonly called Ouse or Grand River, running into Lake
Erie, allotting to them for that purpose six miles deep from each side of the river,
beginning at Lake Erie and extending in that proportion to the head of the said river,
which them and their posterity are to enjoy for ever.
And we hereby certify that the above release or surrender has been assented to and
executed by the majority of the Chiefs of the Six Nations Indians.
