A traditional longhouse in Six Nations of the Grand River held a grand opening yesterday three years after a fire destroyed a 17th-Century Indigenous replica of the wooden structure.
The Oshweken Longhouse at Kayanase on Highway 54 — traditionally named Ganohsa’o:weh — featured free guided public tours over two hours.
