The Haldimand Tract Ecumenical Partnership is about better relationships between Haldimand Tract church & Six Nations peoples

About Us

Since 2015, we as individuals and communities have been nurturing better relationships between people of Six Nations of the Grand River and people of the churches across the Haldimand Tract, and beyond.

We Are All Treaty People! Everyone who lives in the Haldimand Tract in Southwestern Ontario lives in relationship to the Grand River and it's watershed environment. 


The territory of six miles on either side of the Grand River from the headwaters to Lake Erie are covered by the Haldimand Proclamation of October 25, 1784, as made by "Canada" and the Haudenosaunee to the benefit of people of of Six Nations and their posterity to enjoy forever. 


All Canadians and all Haudenosaunee are directly engaged in this Treaty no matter where they reside.

Two Images

The Friendship Belt

This is the image around which we gathered for an intergenerational retreat in 2017. Rick Hill and Taylor Gibson were our key teachers for the retreat.  They chose this image to centre us together and they offered the motif of "We. Them. Us."

The Logo for the Churches

This logo was created by Rick Hill for the churches of the Haldimand Tract Ecumenical Partnership to use in parallel with the logo of Six Nations Polytechnic. 

The logos are shown as "Stronger Together" on our 2017 broch

Key Concepts

"Two Row" Living

"Two Row" Living

"Two Row" Living

This was an early teaching that brought the Haldimand Tract Ecumenical Partners together. This teaching reminds listeners that we are already in covenanted relationship together through the Two Row Wampum. 

Bundled Arrows

"Two Row" Living

"Two Row" Living

Being "Stronger Together" like "Bundled Arrows is another key teaching. In short, alone we are easier to break. Bundled together in ways that keep us from harming ourselves and each other, we keep our responsibilities, A united Good Mind is a fundamental principle in our belief systems.
