Our visit to the Tsiionhiakwatha/Droulers archaeological site

Our visit to the site where the most important Iroquoian village discovered in Quebec lies. 

Circa 1450, approximately 500 St.Lawrence iroquoians established a village near the La Guerre River in what is now the municipality of Saint-Anicet.  More than 500 years later, a local farmer by the name of François Droulers found a howel dating from the 15^th century. Following this discovery, archaeological digs uncovered more than 150 000 artifacts over an area of 13 000 square meters. These archaeological digs led to the reconstruction of the village on the site itself where the fascinating history of the Iroquoian way of life is put on display.

We visited the village, its longhouses, traditional garden and its Kionhekwa exhibit. We had so much fun!
