Territorial Recognition
The Old Port of Montréal Corporation salutes and acknowledges the local Mohawk communities that help us maintain a connection with this territory’s great Haudenosaunee culture. The Old Port is located along the majestic Saint Lawrence River, a place of great significance for local Indigenous communities.
