Talk:Grand River (Ontario)

message: I cleaned up a few obvious native historical "clangers" to start, but this section needs serious attention. I'll try to get back to it myself when I have time.

thread_title: Factual Dispute Tag

message: I didn't revert the edit because the material you removed isn't redundant in some ways, which is fairly obvious if you read the  section as a whole. The entire history section of this article is still in very bad shape in my opinion, I'd suggest that its got non NPOV issues in several spots, the tone it's written in and choice of words seem somewhat "chatty" and unencyclopedic to me and worst of all it continues to contain, what I'd argue, are historical inaccuracies in some places. Instead of editing out the paragraph that was removed today, which contained a link to a map, as well as an internal link to the ongoing Caledonia land dispute, a subject quite relevant in the Grand Valley these days, I'd like to see the entire history section itself brought up to a higher standard. In my opinion, from a historical perspective, the article itself would benefit more if some of the earlier comments in it regarding the acquisition of the land by the Six Nations were edited out and replaced by the material that was removed today. As I said back in August, I'm willing to work on this article myself as time allows, but in my opinion it doesn't make sense removing content that's not only relevant and contains references, it's actually of a higher quality than what remains.

thread_title: My Reverting of The Edit In The History Section

message: I would recommend that post 1784 content relating to the Grand River Indian reserve be removed and relocated to Six Nations 40, Ontario where I think it rightly belongs.  I have also being added relevant content at Haldimand Proclamation. BradMajors 16:39, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

message: [material I removed}
"Conveniently, there was one large swath of land unclaimed by any native or European settlers that made for a perfect resettlement of the Six Nations, the Grand River Valley which the Six Nations forefathers had previously cleared."
It dosen't matter if you accept either the Nanfan Treaty of 1701, in which the Confederacy supposedly relinquished its claims to the Beaver Hunting Lands of southern Ontario to the British, including the Grand Valley, or to the idea that the Mississaugas held claim to the Valley by right of conquest over the Haudenosaunee in the late 1600's, in either case, there were still definitely "claims" on the valley by people during the last half of the 1700's by at least one group, perhaps several. The statement that the valley was previously "cleared" by "Six Nations forefathers" is misleading in my opinion, it implies that there was large scale community development in the valley on the part of the Haudenosaunee people previous to their arrival under Joseph Brant and that's simply not true. regards Deconstructhis (talk) 09:19, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

message: So I fix the internal link (red) · Six Nations of the Grand River, Ontario changing it to Six Nations of the Grand River, at the text. And better doing a REDIRECT  Six Nations of the Grand River, too. --Pla y Grande Covián (talk) 07:02, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
