Coat of Arms Ceremony: Recognizing the Covenant Chain
The Chapel Royal of the Mohawk
Has been situated on the site of the Mohawk Village since 1785.
It is the first Chapel Royal of First Nations people in North America and has a history that extends back to 1710.
The Chapel Royal of the Mohawk is now the only First Nations Chapel in Canada to have Royal Arms granted by the Crown. The Grant of Arms is in recognition of the ally relationship between the Haudenosaunee and the Crown extending back into the 1600s.
Prior to today this Haudenosaunee-Crown relationship has been embodied in the symbolism of the Silver Covenant Chain created over the past 400 years of Nation to Nation interaction.
Join us on September 29th at 2PM to witness the history of the relationship between the Royal Crown, and her Six Nations Allies.
All are welcome, no registration required.
