Woodland Cultural Centre invites you to our new exhibition, Doug Maracle: Come Walk With Me. Doug is Mohawk Nation, Bear Clan from Six Nations of the Grand River and is known around the world for his craftmanship and artist works. It wasn’t until more recently that his hometown discovered his talents.
The virtual tour will guide you through the former Mohawk Institute Indian Residential School, giving the history of the institution over its 140-year history. Viewers will get to see different rooms inside the school, from the girls’ and boys’ dormitories, the cafeteria, laundry room, and other rooms throughout the building as well as hear interviews from five survivors.
