There's still time to register! Silent No More returns with a virtual screening on September 18 at 6:00 PM. Register now to get your zoom link!

Join us for Silent No More: A Virtual Tour of the Former Mohawk Institute Indian Residential School, presented by the Woodland Cultural Centre. The Mohawk Institute Residential School (Mush Hole) was Canada's longest-operating residential school, designed to erase Indigenous identity. Today, it stands as a symbol of resilience, housing the Woodland Cultural Centre, dedicated to revitalizing Hodinohsho:ni cultures and languages.

"Residential School is the only school you’re considered a survivor and not a graduate." – Beau Miller, 2022 (Mohawk Institute Survivor)

A huge thank you to our film production team, Achimowin Films, and our generous funders: Inspirit, Brant Community Foundation, McLean Foundation, The Slaight Family Foundation, CIBC Foundation, and TD Bank Foundation. Your donations help support our educational programs at the Centre, enabling us to share and celebrate Indigenous cultures, languages, and art.

This film is rated PG-13. Parental discretion is advised as it includes material that may not be suitable for children under 13.

Register now to receive your Zoom link and join us in honouring the experiences of residential school survivors.

The Woodland Cultural Centre is pleased to announce that the Barry and Laurie Green Family Trust has awarded a grant of $450,000 toward the production of essential finishing elements required to establish the Mohawk Institute as a pinnacle, best in class, nationally significant heritage museum and site of conscience that reveals the history and legacy of Canada’s Indian Residential School policies and the impacts on the children who were placed there. Work on the Mohawk Institute is among the most important and relevant Indigenous community-based, and led, projects in the country.

Executive Director Heather George stated, "This gift will ensure the powerful truths of Survivors are accessible to the widest audience possible." This initiative aims to foster understanding and healing by sharing the history of the Mohawk Institute and the impact of residential schools on Indigenous communities.

The Mohawk Institute stands as a crucial emblem of resilience and a reminder of the need for continued awareness, education, and acknowledgment of past injustices.
