The Haldimand Tract was granted to Six Nations of the Grand River in 1784 for allying with the British during the American Revolution. It covers roughly 384,451 hectares along Ontario's Grand River and includes municipalities such as Waterloo, Brantford and Caledonia. The HCCC said developers must stop any ongoing or planned projects and work with the Haudenosaunee Development Institute (HDI), which it set up to deal with land issues. Hill noted Six Nations has a "major land claims case" coming before the courts in 2022, adding "the government of Canada owes Six Nations potentially in the trillions of dollars in relation to our lands."
