I have been to Six Nations many times for various reasons, Pow wow, shopping, day excursions and have always enjoyed ourselves. Went to the burger barn for a b-day party and the food was simply amazing, good prices, good quality,big portions and the service was friendly. If you go make sure you know where you are going....have a map because... More

To understand the First Nations, you have to visit them! You will meet a great group of people trying to make their way in a complex society. Try attending summer gathering or just go shopping and talk to the people.

Just a little over the top in pseudo-culture, I'm sad to say. Around here we are just about topped out on native 'culture' that includes blockades, sitdowns, hunger strikes and vans on fire pushed off bridges.

We often forget how rich our neighbours culture can be. Six Nations folks embody all that is good and pure about Canada. Humility, respect for the land and hospitality. Check it out. Fun and rare experience.

If you are not aboriginal, you may find yourself feeling very unwanted here. It is a small minority that feels that way, but they are very vocal and very mean spirited. They do a disservice to all native peoples, but because of the Warriors and other bad elements, this is no longer a place to visit...even in daylight!

I travel there regularly to shop. I love shopping at Iroqrafts for original F.N. art, bead and leather supplies, history books, and they have a very large selection of original soapstone carvings. There are other stores on the F.N. that are also great for gifts. The only drawback is that there is not enough signage to get to particular stores,... More
