The Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory, as part of the Mohawk Nation, is a healthy, sustainable Kanyen’kehà:ka community, built on and united by their language, culture, traditions, knowledge and history.
Chapel Royal of the Mohawks – Down a quiet country road sits a structure unique to the area and, in many ways, the world. Christ Church, Her Majesty’s Chapel Royal of the Mohawk is of great historical significance with a wealth of history as it relates to the American revolution.

Christ Church Cemetery – Look for the plaque near Dr. Oronhyatekha’s (Burning Sky) grave; among other incredible feats, he was one of the first accredited Indigenous doctors in Canada and the first-known Aboriginal Oxford scholar.

Pet Cemetery – Follow the path to the right behind the Christ Church Chapel and continue past the clearing. When you see the foundation of the old rectory, keep going roughly 80ft. Here lie the beloved pets of Reverend Herbert Pringle, who served this congregation from the 1920’s to the 1940’s. Scottie, Toby, Sultan and Chippie are remembered with personalized and professionally commissioned headstones.
