A living memorial dedicated to the contributions and sacrifices made by Six Nations and Native Allies on Queenston Heights and throughout the War of 1812 inspires citizens to learn and acknowledge the critical role that Native peoples played in the defense of this land and the ability of Canada to remain free.

As a commemorative public artwork the memorial also recognizes the historic ceremony of peace and reconciliation held in Niagara on August 31 and September 1, 1815 that restored peace among the Native nations who fought on opposing sides.

“THE VICTORIOUS ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE MEN FROM GRAND RIVER AT THIS PLACE HAVE NOT RECEIVED DUE RECOGNITION UNTIL NOW. THIS MEMORIAL IS A VERY IMPORTANT PART OF THE RECONCILIATION BETWEEN OUR PEOPLES, AND A TESTAMENT TO OUR SURVIVAL ON OUR NATIVE LAND.”
