ABOUT SAINTE-MARIE
This impressive reconstruction takes you back in time to a story of cultural contact, determination, drama, and survival. A colourful audio-visual presentation sets the stage for your journey. Examine the original stonework and ingenious locked waterway, observe historic blacksmithing or woodworking, learn about cooking techniques, 17th century fire-starting, listen to traditional storytelling in the Wendat (Huron) Longhouse or perhaps make an "oki".

All are available in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Japanese, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Russian, Standard and Simplified Chinese.
