Ancestral remains repatriated and reburied
10/02/2020
The Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke (MCK) wishes to inform the community that ancestral remains uncovered in Montreal during construction in the area near St. Joseph’s Oratory have been repatriated and buried at the old cemetery across from the MCK main building. The simple and quiet traditional ceremony took place this morning to honor the two adults and two children whose remains were interred beneath a spruce tree. It had been previously declared that any ancestral remains returned to the community will be buried at this location.
