CHAPEL SERVICES
The Mohawk Chapel has touched the lives of countless individuals, from humble Mohawk lay readers who ministered to the people of Six Nations, to Queens and Princes, residential school children and worshippers from the Brantford area who have attended from the earliest days of settlement, to the present day. In the past, it connected us not only to the Church, but to the British Crown, where our people enjoyed the position of trusted ally, a position to which we adhere even onto this day.
The chapel is available for Christian baptismal services as well as celebration of life memorial services. Funerals can be arranged but no on-site internment is permitted. Details should be discussed with the Royal Chaplain.

TOURISM SERVICES
Six Nations is a vibrant Haudenosaunee community nestled along the Grand River, just outside of Brantford in the heart of Southern Ontario’s Golden Horseshoe. We’re home to a rich history, a tradition of peace, an oral tradition that emphasizes inclusion, and the largest patch of pristine, untouched Carolinian forests left in Canada. Our Grand River Territory offers uniquely rich experience unavailable elsewhere in Canada.
We’re a beautiful culmination of cultures— continuing our ceremonies and language an hour outside of Toronto, and between a handful of cities. Canoe the Grand River, hike the trails, explore the crafts and story of our people and our continued evolution since Europeans washed ashore hundreds of years ago.
We’re still here. And we invite you to come and find us.
