Nicole Bilodeau, Lecturer of Cultural and
Language Studies, holds a Masters Degree from

Wilfrid Laurier University and personally knows

of atrocities subjected by residential schools, as

her grandparents were one of many that were

forced to adhere and conform. Nicole (being

Mohawk), and of the Six Nations (also known as
the Haudenosaunee peoples) of the Grand River

Territory, learnt the language herself through Six

Nations a couple of years ago. With her

Mohawk background, Nicole Bilodeau is trying

to return these cultural resources back to her

community. Mohawk language courses tend to
run between 6-10 students per class for Mohawk

Language term 1, and 4-6 students per class for

Mohawk Language term 2.
