Kay-Nah-Chi-Wah-Nung Historical Centre (Manitou Mounds)

The Ojibway people of Rainy River First Nations welcome you to one of the most significant centres of early habitation and ceremonial burial in Canada. Kay-Nah-Chi-Wah-Nung, the Place of the Long Rapids, is a place of outstanding beauty and spirituality. The Centre is owned and operated by Rainy River First Nations and offers interpretive tours and galleries, a collections space with over 16,000 artifacts, a gift shop that showcases artwork by local Indigenous artists, and a restaurant that serves traditional Ojibway cuisine. The Centre is an educational resource for the community, and allows Rainy River First Nations to educate visitors about Ojibway history, language, geography, culture, and traditions. Through these activities, the site continues to serve as a gathering place, a role it has played for thousands of years. These lands hold the record of more than 8,000 years of recurring use or habitation and contains the largest group of burial mounds in North America.
