History and The Community

Wahta Mohawk Territory was founded in 1881 when a group of Mohawks moved from the community of Kanesatake, Quebec because of political and religious strife.

They offer tours during harvest and have a store open year round. Their address is 2860 Iroquois Cranberry Growers Drive, Exit 182 east, off Hwy 400 south of MacTier, Ontario.
