Historic site and museum
Droulers Tsiionhiakwatha

In the south of Saint-Anicet, the Tsiionhiakwatha/Droulers archaeological site interpretation center is where an important Iroquoian village in Quebec was located. Circa 1450, approximately 500 St.Lawrence Iroquoians established a village near the La Guerre River. The centre opened on May 15, 2010.[8]

Droulers-Tsiionhiakwatha was designated a Site du patrimoine constitué under provincial legislation in 2005,[9] and a National Historic Site of Canada in 2007.[10]

gollark: Interesting.
gollark: If your brain loses oxygen input for something like 10 seconds, you become unconscious, and it fully shuts down given a few minutes or something like that.
gollark: Oxygen is needed to run aerobic respiration. Aerobic respiration is needed by lots of body stuff - muscles can run on anaerobic respiration for a bit, but not things like the brain.
