A Project of Mohawk University

Our Purpose

Six Miles Deep exists to restore truth and lawful understanding to the lands and legacy confirmed by the Haldimand Proclamation of October 25, 1784 — the covenant that granted the Mohawk Nation and their posterity the lands six miles deep on either side of the Grand River for their exclusive use and enjoyment forever.

We are a research and education platform dedicated to the Crown Plus Project — a historical and legal initiative that seeks to reaffirm this covenant as a living constitutional truth. Our mission is not to rewrite history, but to illuminate the parts of it that were deliberately buried.

What “Crown Plus” Means

The term “Crown Plus” represents a concept older than Confederation and deeper than law — the relationship between the Mohawk Nation and the Crown.
It recognizes that this covenant is not a numbered treaty, nor an Aboriginal claim. It is a Loyalist compact — a restoration agreement made to uphold the honour of the Crown and to restore the Mohawk people to their pre-war standing.

Crown + Mohawk = Continuity.
Two nations, bound not by subjection but by mutual duty.
The “plus” represents all that extends beyond the colonial imagination: hereditary title, lawful inheritance, and the living depth of responsibility — six miles deep.

Our Principles

1. Truth
   We believe that truth is not a perspective — it’s an obligation. The historical record is clear: the Grand River lands were not a treaty gift, nor a donation, but a constitutional restoration.
2. Lawful Continuity
   The Crown’s 1791 confirmation of the Haldimand Proclamation reaffirmed its permanence. These lands are extra-territorial to Canada — outside domestic legislation and beyond numbered treaty jurisdiction.
3. Accountability
   Every officeholder, academic, and citizen who takes the Oath of Allegiance is bound by law to uphold this covenant. Ignorance is not a defense.
4. Restoration Without Violence
   Our goal is not dispossession — it is correction.
   Restoration begins with recognition, and recognition begins with truth.

Our Research Focus

Through the Crown Plus White Paper, we examine:

• Constitutional foundations of the Haldimand Proclamation
• Misapplication of collective rights and Aboriginal law
• Fiduciary duties of Crown and officeholders
• Institutional misuse of “Land Acknowledgments”
• Pretendianism and hereditary misrepresentation
• Comparative case law including Wilkes v. Jackson, Don Hopton v. Pamajewon, Guerin v. The Queen, and the Manitoba Language Reference

Why “Six Miles Deep”

The name reflects both geography and philosophy.
It is the measure of land promised to the Mohawk Nation, and a metaphor for the depth of commitment, history, and law that sustains it.

Our Partners & Legacy

This project continues the legacy of the 1710 alliance between Queen Anne and the Mohawk Nation, symbolized through the Silver Communion Set and reaffirmed in 2010 when Queen Elizabeth II presented the Silver Bells to the Mohawk Chapel — marking 300 years of alliance.
