The Woodland Cultural Centre presents a screening of Silent No More: A Virtual Tour of the Former Mohawk Institute Indian Residential School on Wednesday June 18 at 6:00pm.

The former Mohawk Institute Residential School (Mush Hole) was the longest operating residential school in Canada. A building created to destroy Indigenous identity and heritage is now the home of the Woodland Cultural Centre, a site dedicated to the revitalization of Hodinohsho:ni cultures and languages.
