![]()
|
By Order-in-Council of October 4, 1843, the Crown acknowledged that the lands which comprised the Johnson’s Settlement tract, some 7,000 acres and other lands were reserved out of the lands purportedly to be surrendered for disposition to the Crown under the January 18, 1841 document. Six Nations had indicated their consent that these lands would be let on short leases. Nevertheless, the Crown subsequently sold these lands and all of the proceeds from the sales were not paid to Six Nations. Six Nations have never consented to an absolute surrender of these lands.
ALLEGATIONS
In or about 1843, the Crown reserved specific lands for Six Nations and as of 1995 the Six Nations Reserve consists of approximately 45,482.951 acres, being only a small portion of the lands said to be reserved for Six Nations.
There is no lawful surrender from Six Nations to the Crown for the sale of any portion of the lands reserved for Six Nations.
Six Nations were deprived of continual rental revenues by the Crown’s sale of the lands in the Johnson Settlement. Six Nations did not receive full and fair compensation for the lands sold.
The Crown has not shown that all the purported sums paid were credited to the Six Nations Trust Fund Accounts.
