    Mohawk Institute

    The Mohawk Institute was established in 1828 near Brantford, Ontario. It was one of the earliest and longest-running Indian residential schools. It was initially founded by Reverend Robert Lugger, a missionary of a Puritan Protestant organization. The Mohawk Institute evolved from a Kanyen’kehá:ka (Mohawk) Indian day school and was a model for other residential schools. The people involved intended to assimilate First Nations children into Euro-Canadian society. They did this through converting children and, as adults, having them do the same within their communities. The Mohawk Institute operated for 141 years, closing in 1970.
