Silent No More: A Virtual Tour of the Former Mohawk Institute Indian Residential School

Join the Woodland Cultural Centre for a public screening of our new film Silent No More: A Virtual Tour of the Former Mohawk Institute Indian Residential School on Friday June 23 at 6:30pm at the Hamilton Museum of Steam & Technology. 

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. 

“Residential School is the only school you’re considered a survivor and not a graduate.”  Beau Miller, 2022 (Mohawk Institute Survivor)
