t for the restoration of the former Mohawk Institute Residential School,
and to develop the building into an Interpreted Historic Site and Educa

fully realized Interpretive Centre that will be the definitive destinati
on for information about the history of Residential Schools in Canada, t
he experiences of Survivors of the schools, and the impact that the Resi
dential School system has had in communities. After the Mohawk Institute
closed in 1970, it reopened in 1972 as the Woodland Cultural Centre, a
non-profit organization that serves to preserve and promote First Nation
s culture and heritage.\n\n
