Part of the Crawford Lake Reserve houses an Iroquois Village. The Village was established on a previous site that was found by archaeologists, then reconstructed accordingly. You are able to wander through Longhouses, see working areas, vegetable plots and the surrounding fence as it would've have been. We were also lucky enough to be given a demonstration to the structure and idea surrounding the 'longhouse'. Its' effectiveness in sleeping a whole extended family, use as a cooking and preserving station, and the keeping of animals. We also watched a demonstration on the discovery of flint and the benefits for indigenous peoples.
