EKIONKIESTHA’ NATIONAL LONGHOUSE VISIT

This is the experience not to be missed in Wendake! The Ekionkiestha’ Longhouse is about experiencing the traditional lifestyles of the pre-contact period first-hand. This place of discovery is a journey to the very heart of these lifestyles. With your family, group, or friends, you’ll be impressed by its high palisades, the garden highlighting a traditional agriculture technique, and the interior of this dwelling. The longhouse is also included in our Guided tour and Discovery tour. A must-see in the greater Québec City region!
