Museums exist to reflect the community to which is serves. Chiefswood stands testament to the
enduring legacy of the Johnson Family and within the societal sphere of
Six Nations in the 19th century. Home to a Mohawk Confederacy Chief, and
infamous daughter-Emily Pauline Johnson; the site is an invaluable
educational tool to the Six Nations Community and beyond.

The program
provides your students with an opportunity to demonstrate a variety of
skills in order to meet some of the Overall and specific expectations of
the Ontario curriculum. During this one hour tour, your
students will look at various aspects of Six Nations History, the Johnson
Family Legacy, the childhood of E. Pauline Johnson, while viewing rare
artifacts found throughout the home.
The tour group will be divided into two groups. One group will go into the mansion
