		In the late 19th century, the Wahta Mohawks relocated to Ontario from Oka, Quebec, due to a dispute with the Seminary of St. Sulpice over the ownership of certain lands at Lake of Two Mountains.
		In 1881, the Government of Canada agreed to establish a 26,000 acre (10,000 hectare) reserve for the Wahta Mohawks and arranged to purchase that land from the provincial Crown in the District of Muskoka.
		In their land claim submitted to the federal and provincial governments, the Wahta Mohawks claimed that approximately 11,000 acres (4,000 hectares) of land were severed from their reserve in 1918 without their consent or knowledge, thus reducing their promised land base by 40 per cent.
