Woodland Cultural Centre - quilt #2

This barn quilt is on the land of the Woodland Cultural Centre, the former Mohawk Institute Indian Residential School (1831-1970)
The Cultural Centre was established in 1972 to protect, promote, interpret, and present the history, language, intellectual and cultural heritage of the Anishinaabe and Onkwehon:we.

      Thanks. I'm not sure what the significance of this pattern is to the Centre.

    it's a beautiful quilt and I enjoy seeing museums and visitor centers honoring Native cultures. It always seems as if we have a lot to learn from them (a lot we should have learned).

    I think it's a better cultural centre than it was a residential school.

      For sure! It is a good repurposing for the building.
