The Onondaga of Canada

The Onondaga of Canada, numbering approximately 900 people, are No Longer Unreached. They are Fire Keepers of the Haudenosaunee who resettled to Ontario's Grand River under the 1784 Haldimand Proclamation after allying with the British in the American Revolution, today sharing the Six Nations territory with all Haudenosaunee nations. They mostly adhere to Protestantism and English is their primary language.
