MIGRATION TO CANADA. 



Near the close of the Revolutionary war a large portion of the 

 Six Nations went to Canada ; about 2,000 of the Mohawks now reside 

 on a reservation given them by the British Government for their mili- 

 tary services in aid of the Crown in the war of the Revolution on Grand 

 Eiver, in Ontario, Canada. Brant lived there until his death. The 

 town of Brant, Canada, where a monument was raised to him in 1883, 

 was named after him. With them are some Tuscaroras and others of 

 the Six Nations ; all of them are civilized. 



August 27, 1885, the Six Nations at Brantford, Canada, at the Grand 

 Eiver superintendency, in charge of Col. J. T. Gilkison, numbered 

 3,442, a decrease of G during the year ; but within twenty-two years 

 past they have increased more than 500.
