KANA:TA is a cultural destination and centre for learning designed to highlight the rich and diverse cultures of the Six Nations of the Grand River/Haudenosaunee/ Onhkwehonweh and other Indigenous peoples from across Turtle Island.
Kana:ta – meaning “village” in the Mohawk language reflects the main focal point of this site - a 17th century Mohawk village located on traditional Mohawk territory, with a recreated longhouse (under construction) specifically representative of the Mohawk nation of the Six Nations of the Grand River.
