Tyendinaga is more commonly known by his English name of Joseph Brant. In 1784, because of the traditional territory the Haudenosaunee lost during the war, Brant and his community were granted a parcel of land by Frederick Haldimand. This land became known as the Haldimand Tract and was located in what was then Upper Canada in the area that is now southwestern Ontario. Originally the tract was approximately 810,000 hectares (2,000,000 acres) and ran 12 miles wide along the river now known as the Grand River. Over time the land continued to be removed from the community resulting in land disputes that continue to this day. What remains is the First Nations reserve of Six Nations of the Grand River.  \\r\\n\\r\\nOn Elgin Street, Brant's statue is part of Valiants Memorial, a group of statues and busts that commemorates leaders in the military history of Canada. The Memorial was unveiled on November 5, 2006 by former Governor General Micha\\u00eblle Jean. \\r\\n\\r\\nThe bronze figure is rendered in traditional dress. Brant looks in the direction of the National War Memorial. \\r\\n\\r\\nIn Jeff's image, to the right of Brant's head the glass structure atop the American Embassy can be seen as well as a portion of the Chateau Laurier Hotel. Below the Wellington Street bridge and Elgin Street intersection the Rideau Canal, a UNESCO World Heritage site, cuts through the landscape. Opened in 1832 the Canal was originally built for military purposes after the threat of American invasion increased after the War of 1812. The Canal runs 202 kilometres connecting Ottawa to Lake Ontario as well as the Saint Lawrence at Kingston, Ontario.

The Library, along with the prior Centre Block structure, was designed in the High Victorian Gothic style by architects Thomas Fuller and Chillion Jones and officially opened in 1866. The textured exterior is made from 4 types of rocks, grey Gloucester limestone and grey Nepean along with red Potsdam and buff Ohio sandstone, all of which were quarried from Canadian mines. Although the roof is now copper, the original slate roof was replaced after a 1888 tornado tore it off. The structure is curved and from the outside the distintive buttresses, of which there are 16 in total, are visible. \\r\\n\\r\\nBetween the structure and Bear the legs and torse of a bronze statue can be seen. The figure is of Thomas D'Arcy McGee. Created by the sculptor George William Hill, the statue was placed outside the library December 22, 1922. Born in Ireland, McGee became one of the Fathers of Confederation. In 1868, he was a victim of a political assassinated in after leaving a parlimentary debate. The bronze figure of a woman is seated below the statue. \\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\",\"location\":{\"icon\":\"https:\\\/\\\/wheretheriversmeet.art\\\/tour\\\/wp-content\\\/plugins\\\/wp-google-map-gold\\\/assets\\\/images\\\/icons\\\/ancienttemple.png\",\"lat\":\"45.4256061\",\"lng\":\"-75.7006091\",\"city\":\"Ottawa\",\"state\":\"Ontario\",\"country\":\"Canada\",\"onclick_action\":\"marker\",\"marker_image\":\"<div class='fc-feature-img'><img loading='lazy' decoding='async' alt='Parliament Hill (Parliamentary Library &amp; Thomas D.
