It is a Palisade Fort with Native Houses (Arbors / Long Houses); a three sister’s garden; native flat cookers for smoking / drying fish, an Iroquoian Corn Thrashing Booth, Dug-out canoe. Cattashowrock Town is a replica 17th Century Iroquoian Indian Village.
The Town features Interpretative Trails with signage, depicting native flora and fauna, in both English and in our Iroquoian Language.

Your students will be invited to join in with a native round dance to the sound of Native Drumming.
