Brant fought his first battle with the British when he was just a teenager. But this young warrior was also a visionary. Brant clearly understood that Native people faced inevitable change and united various nations to protect their interests.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e As war chief of the Six Nations and a British military captain, Brant was respected by both sides. And when the American War of Independence ended (1783), he acted as statesman and negotiated land for the Six Nations people.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e They settled in the Grand River Valley (Ontario) where Brant played a key role in their economic, political and religious lives, bringing a school, as well as a saw and grist mill to the community. Yet, despite this seemingly British way of life, Brant's vision of Native sovereignty persisted.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Thayendanegea was equally at ease with a tea cup or a tomahawk. He adopted a new culture without dishonouring his Native roots. Through his voice and his actions, Brant shaped much of Native Canada a truth that echoes throughout southwestern Ontario and in the town that bears his name.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Mintage:60,000\u003cbr\u003e Finish: Proof\u003cbr\u003e Certificate:serialized\u003cbr\u003e Artist:Adapted from an original artwork by Laurie McGaw*\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Royal Canadian Mint","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51175856111748,"sku":null,"price":269.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0967\/3447\/8468\/files\/2007_Proof_Set__12365.1365632332.1280.1280.jpg?v=1759512200","url":"https:\/\/www.westedmontoncoinandstamp.com\/products\/2007-proof-double-dollar-set","provider":"West Edmonton Coin \u0026 Stamp","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
