C	Cecilia Mok on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This crucial cultural hub and museum does very important work. It helps us all learn and create hope for a better future. I love visiting and seeing the new things each time, and always learning. Highly recommend all to go visit - and be ready with open heart and mind.
C	Charlie Dawydow (Charlie Dowydow) on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amazing experience! So much history and culture here along with real artifacts and thought provoking displays. Highly recommend to everyone of any age.
D	Dane Halo on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Please stop reviewing this place poorly because of its history. It is NOW a cultural centre to shine a light on the past and to protect the evidence of what the building and grounds once were. If you review this place poorly, the Indigenous artwork and cultural artifacts found here will not be as widely seen, and you will drive away some percentage of income that the new owners of this property (who work FOR the rights and liberties of Indigenous Peoples) could use to educate others. Leave reviews related to its current iteration, not its terrible history. Thank you.
D	Dkbluemax K on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very historic Mohawk Institute and a must to tour and learn about a very interesting but sad (dark) history of native children. Originally opened in 1828 as the Mechanics Institute for Native Six Nations boys and later in 1834 native girls were accepted. I encourage you to google Mohawk Institute History now...and read up...
t	terry boyer on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I love that they took a place of sadness and abuse and turned it into a place where people can learn of the atrocities committed against the native people and teach the native culture and language to those who were robbed of their heritage and to those who will help prevent such atrocities from ever happening again.
D	Derek Scanlan on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I enjoyed my time learning and working there. I was responsible for the sand and refinish of the first 2 levels of the hardwood floors. I hope to see the final completion one day with my daughter. Me and another guy spent countless hours bringing those floors back to life, while attempting to maintain the integrity of the history. I am honoured to have been a part of this project to save the evidence.
K	Kathi Nicoll on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Love this place. My 2nd visit and looking forward to more. There are few places that focus soley on Indigenous history in Ontario. The little we're taught in public schools are generalized titbits of history that seem to colour all Nations with the same brush when in fact each Nation across the country has it's own distinct cultures, customs and languages. I feel honoured and privileged to be able to learn more and more about Six Nations every time I visit. My only critique of the museum is that some of the amazing exhibits are missing the context about what we're seeing. Looking forward to my next visit! Chi Miigwetch
F	Francisco Lopez on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The museum is small but contains good information about the indigenous and their relationship with the white people. I was expecting to find more information related to the residential schools, so. I was a little disappointed. The place made me think we can do way better to try to mitigate the terrible damage we have done to to them. There should be some link or at least information available on the activities available in the Six Nations community.
