Six Miles Deep is a research and education platform focused on the Grand River record and the Haldimand Proclamation of October 25, 1784. We organize primary sources, publish clear articles, and connect documents, terms, and case notes so the public can understand what was promised and , what responsibilities still follow from it.
Our purpose is restoration through truth: not rewriting history, but making the buried parts of the record readable and verifiable.
The Crown Plus Project is our framework for examining the relationship between the Mohawk Nation and the Crown as a continuity covenant that predates Confederation. In this view, the issue is not a slogan or a generic claim. It is a chain of instruments, duties, and lawful inheritance tied to “six miles deep” and exclusive use and enjoyment.
We work from three principles: accuracy grounded in sources, accountability for institutions operating on the territory, and restoration without violence—through clarity, responsible dialogue, and lawful process.
About Benjamin Doolittle U.E.
Benjamin Doolittle UE is a Lower Mohawk of Grand River and a direct descendant of Mohawk Loyalist leadership connected to the Grand River settlement. He serves as Secretary-General for the Mohawk Nation of Grand River and works to uphold the hereditary rights and responsibilities carried by his line. Through his matrilineal line he descends from Esther Springstead (Shatekariwate), a clanmother married to Captain David Hill, U.E.L.
Matrilineal line: Tracey → Beverly → Mabel → Bertha → Lydia → Esther → Ellen (daughter of Isaac Brant) → Mary → Esther Springstead (Shatekariwate)
This lineage places Benjamin as a sixth-great-grandson of Joseph Brant U.E.L. (Thayendanegea) and Isaac Brant of Canajoharie. His work with Six Miles Deep focuses on recovering the Crown-recognized framework for Mohawk title along the Grand River—presented as a specific hereditary and Loyalist interest grounded in the Haldimand Proclamation and subsequent Crown instruments, rather than as a generalized “Aboriginal rights” argument.
Benjamin has founded and developed several community initiatives that support Mohawk continuity and stewardship, including Grand Back, the Bluebelt conservation concept, Mohawk University, and the Kanien’kehà:ka Language Development Institute. He has also contributed to Indigenous media development, including support for Two Row Times as a platform for Onkwehonwe voices and treaty-based perspectives.
Alongside his community work, Benjamin is an independent music producer releasing under the name One Way Current, published by Corn Press Publications. His creative work explores Mohawk history, land, and continuity in contemporary forms. He is a member of the United Empire Loyalist Association of Canada, the Royal Heraldry Society of Canada, and the Monarchist League of Canada, reflecting his focus on Crown honour, proper historical process, and lawful recognition.
