"...The Droulers/Tsiionhiakwatha site is one of the most important Iroquoian sites in Quebec, and it is considered to have been the foremost village in the region marked by the culture of the Saint-Anicet Iroquoians. Radiocarbon dating places the occupation of the site between 1450 and 1500 of our era. During this period, the cultivated land sometimes extended for as much as two kilometres beyond the village limits. Delimited to the north, east and south by a small stream that is the source of the west branch of the La Guerre River, the village contained about a dozen longhouses, some of which were as much as 30 metres in length. These dwellings were built at the top of a morainic ridge about eight kilometres south of the St. Lawrence River. At its apogee, the village could have accommodated 400 to 500 inhabitants...."
The Mohawk name Tsiionhiakwatha, means 'where we pick berries', although it is commonly known as the Droulers site, referring to the family name of the people who presently live on the property.
