Whereas his late Majesty, King George the Third, of glorious memory, in con-
sideration of the early attachment to his cause manifested by the Chief Warriors

thereby sustained, and being desirous of showing His royal approbation of the same
and of recompensing the losses which they had sustained, was graciously pleased to
authorize and permit the said Mohawk Indians and such other of the Six Nations of
Indians as wished to settle in that quarter to take possession of and settle upon the
banks of the river commonly called the Ouse or Grand River running into Lake Erie,
allotting to them for that purpose six miles deep from each side of the river which
they and their posterity were to enjoy for ever.

the purpose of being so granted as aforesaid, to which proposal the said Six Nations
Indians in Council, as aforesaid, have assented, and by articles of provisional agree-
ment made and entered into at the said meeting in Council on the said 29th day of
January, 1835, between James Winniett, Esquire, Superintendent of Indian Affairs,
on the part and behalf of His Majesty King William the Fourth, of the one part, and
the Chiefs and Principal Men of the said Six Nations Indians, residing on the said
tract of land, on the other part, they the said Chiefs and Principal Men did resolve
and agree, as well on their own behalf as on the behalf of the said Six Nations Indians,
