Six Nations: Tribes of the six-nation Iroquois Confederacy lived south of Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River. The Mohawks, some of whose descendants now live on the Tyendinaga Nation east of Belleville, were the easternmost tribe. They sided with the British during the American Revolution and came to Canada as refugees after the war. Temporarily located at Lachine, near Montreal, they eventually settled on two sites: Tyendinaga and the Six Nations Reserve near Brantford.
