Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory
Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory, Indigenous reserve in Hastings County, Canada.
Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory is an indigenous reserve in eastern Ontario that stretches along the northeastern shore of the Bay of Quinte. The area is home to a Mohawk community that manages its own affairs through a local council system.
In 1784, twenty families founded this territory after arriving by canoe from Quebec and losing their homeland in New York State. This settlement became a new home for the Mohawk people during a time of displacement.
The name comes from Mohawk leader Thayendanegea, who guided the community to this place. Local schools and institutions keep traditions alive by teaching knowledge to younger generations.
Remember that this is a living community inhabited by Mohawk residents who manage the territory. Annual commemorative events offer visitors the best chance to learn about the history and see how the community celebrates its heritage.
Each year, reenactments of the 1784 arrival take place, allowing visitors to see how the founding families arrived by canoe. These living performances help people understand what that historic journey meant to the community.
