    Woodland Cultural Centre

    The Association of Iroquois and Allied Indians (AIAI), a provincial/territorial First Nations organization in Ontario, founded the Woodland Indian Cultural Education Centre (now Woodland Cultural Centre [WCC]) in 1972. The WCC works “to preserve, promote and strengthen Indigenous language, culture, art and history; bringing the story of the Hodinohsho:ni people of the Eastern Woodlands to life through innovative exhibitions and programs.” The WCC’s board of directors includes community members from the Six Nations of the Grand River First Nation, Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte (Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory) and Wahta Mohawks. The WCC was established by repurposing the Mohawk Institute, Canada’s first Indian residential school, following its closure. In 2014, the WCC launched its Save the Evidence campaign to restore the Mohawk Institute. This effort culminated in the substantial renovation and unveiling of the Mohawk Institute on 30 September 2025, Canada’s National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
