Taber Hill, Indigenous burial mound in Scarborough, Canada

The burial site contains two pits measuring 13.5 feet and 9 feet in circumference, located near Lawrence Avenue and Bellamy Road intersection in Toronto.

In August 1956, construction workers discovered the remains of over 500 Huron-Wendat individuals dating back to the 13th or 14th century during a highway project.

The burial ground follows the traditional Wendat Feast of Souls customs, where remains were cleaned and placed in communal pits lined with animal pelts.

The site occupies 0.342 hectares within Tabor Hill Park and includes memorial plaques installed in 1961 recognizing indigenous traditions and history.

This location represents the only First Nations ossuary in Canada that maintains protection under cemetery status through specific legislation.
