Survivor Series with Blanch Hill-Easton

The last Monday of every month we hold our Survivor Series event from 10am-12pm.
Our Education staff will give our Residential School presentation, providing insight on the history of the Mohawk Institute and residential schools across Canada, as well as a glimpse inside the day to day life of a child at the “Mush Hole.” Afterwards we will be joined by one of our Survivors who will share their stories, and engage with participants in a Q & A.
These Survivor Stories are an important part of understanding the effects of Residential Schools on Indigenous People and they are open to all members of the community.
