Very warm welcome at Kanawake. Interesting to learn about Mohawk history, the Five Nations, and their struggle to preserve their own culture, governing structure and way of life.
Montreal dwellers should be more aware that before the city even existed, other People's lived and gathered there. Basically, we're living in unceaded Mohawk territory.
Beautiful little educational museum. Kind staff. Wonderful old books ???? also right by the water so we got to take a nice little walk after.
Very interesting people with knowledgeable staff
Nice, but small, museum. I learned much about the tribes and about people doing iron working. I especially liked their idea of not having all the men working on the same job site. I didn't know how to pronounce some of the names. The displays were impressive, especially the ones of the tribal council behind the glass wall. We will visit again the next time we're in Kahnawake.
A museum/center of the Mohawk culture at Kahnawake created with love. Small but very nice - and free. Bought a Mohawk language textbook there. Very nice people! Kahnawake is an interesting English and Mohawk speaking island surrounded by French speaking Québec.
