The Haudenosaunee Confederacy is counterparty to the Haldimand Treaty, comprising a 12-mile wide swath of land along the Grand River, from its source to Lake Erie. It compromises the largest outstanding land claim in Canadian history and economists estimate the lost rents, unpaid lease agreements, and accrued Crown-Indigenous trusts at many tens of trillions of dollars. The series of land claims have been held up in the Court of Claims since 1988, and the Trudeau government has no plans to address it. But under current Canadian property law, the damages would bankrupt the Government of Canada.
