The Landscape of Nations is a living memorial dedicated to the contributions and sacrifices made by Six Nations and Native Allies on Queenston Heights and equally important, throughout the War of 1812.

The Battle of Queenston Heights was all but lost for the defenders of Canada until the arrival of Six Nations Warriors in these fields. They turned the tide of this battle and many more during the War of 1812.

The memorial also recognizes the historic ceremony of peace and reconciliation held in Niagara on August 31 and September 1, 1815, which restored peace among the Native nations who fought on opposing sides.
