A Brief History of the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte

Tyendinaga was established in 1784 after Mohawks allied with the British during the
American Revolution. Originally 92,700 acres (about 145 square miles), only about 18,000
acres (less than 20%) remains, today, due to colonial encroachment, illegal land sales, and government expropriation.
