Administrative history
The Six Nations of the Grand River is a First Nations reserve located on the Grand River near Brantford that is made up of the six Iroquois Nations - the Mohawk, Cayuga, Onondaga, Oneida, Seneca and Tuscarora. John Brant (ca. 1794 - 1832), the son of Joseph Brant, was resident superintendent of the Six Nations of the Grand River from 1828 until his death in 1832. Major James Winnett was appointed to the position in 1834
