Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory, Indigenous reserve in Hastings County, Canada.

The Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory spans 18,193 acres along the northeastern shore of the Bay of Quinte in southeastern Ontario, east of Belleville.

In 1784, twenty Mohawk families established this territory after traveling by canoe from Lachine, Quebec, following displacement from their New York homeland.

The territory bears the name of Mohawk leader Thayendanegea, featuring the Quinte Mohawk School and First Nations Technical Institute for indigenous education.

The territory maintains its own governance structure through an elected council system consisting of one chief and four council members serving two-year terms.

The land hosts annual reenactments of the 1784 Mohawk landing, marking the arrival of the first families who founded this indigenous community.
