This Multi-War Memorial is located in Ohsweken, Six Nations of the Grand River Reservation in Ontario. Marble cenotaph style monument was likely placed originally to commemorate World War I veterans but then World War II, Korea and Vietnam were added later.
The monument features a Sword-Cross on the front of it with "Lest We Forget" underneath. On the back side are images of a Bear and Turtle with the Oneida words QA-YO-DEN-SE-RA YAH-TEN-O-WEN-NA
