The former Mohawk Institute Residential School in Brantford has reopened as an interpretive historic site, marking a powerful step forward on this National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. The Mohawk Institute, which operated from 1828 to 1970, was one of the oldest and longest-running residential schools in Canada. The site also features the Woodland Cultural Centre’s library and language archives, reinforcing its dual mission of remembering the past and nurturing Indigenous culture for the future. The Woodland Cultural Centre will offer tours, exhibits, and programs designed to engage both students and the public. Organizers hope the site will become a national and international destination for those seeking to better understand Canada’s residential school history and the ongoing journey of truth and reconciliation.
