Mohawk Village Memorial Park, 7091 Townline Road, Brantford, ON (2026)

Our mission is to develop and maintain the Mohawk Village Memorial Park to honour the children who attended the Mohawk Institute (Mush Hole). Our organization is managed and governed by a Board of Directors that consists of Residential School survivors and descendants. Each director brings unique employment expertise and professional achievements that offer a broad working knowledge needed to make decisions effectively for the park. The Board's emotional connection to this site provides the drive and determination critical to making the park's development a success. These individuals are from Six Nations of the Grand River Territory as well as surrounding communities. Because this is a community initiative, we take input seriously and if feasible will implement it if design alterations are possible. Features in the park were selected to help restore what was lost in many of the former students lives, areas like the pavilion, fire-pit area, ceremonial circle can be a place where traditional ways, family togetherness and the connection to the land can be enjoyed. Moving Forward: A commemoration committee has been formed with a goal of transforming the 5 acres around the Mohawk Institute into a memorial park. The park is in honor of First Nations children who attended all Residential Schools. Design and development ideas are welcome from any survivors across Canada or the United States. A fund raising campaign has been launched to fund this project. Please visit our website for more information or to make a donation. ALL funds raised will go directly towards construction and operational costs of the park.
