Did you Know?
First Nations had been in the Kawartha area since before 1000 A.D. and
there are two notable sites surviving from this era – Petroglyphs
Provincial Park and Serpent Mounds. We’ll share more on these
intriguing sites later.
The Curve Lake First Nation is Mississauga Ojibway First Nation located
in just north of the City of Peterborough. Here they play host to the
Cultural Centre that allows you to step into history and surround
yourself in the culture and history of Curve Lake First Nation, with
artifacts and unique exhibits we will take you into a world of
storytelling, Art, History and ceremony.
