About
Join us for the launch of Behind the Bricks: The Life and Times of the Mohawk Institute, a much-needed history book covering the complex histories of Canada’s oldest and longest-running residential school. This event brings together Indigenous and non-Indigenous historians in the school’s history to address topics as varied as school architecture to student experiences, both in the recent and more distant past, as well as the ties between the Residential School, London, Huron University College, and Western University.
