St. Paul's Her Majesty's Chapel of the Mohawks in Brantford, Ontario is the oldest Protestant Church in Ontario and the only Royal Chapel outside the United Kingdom. The Chapel provides a peaceful atmosphere and a unique history that is shared with many visitors from around the world.

The first Chapel of the Mohawks was built at Fort Hunter in 1712 during the reign of Queen Anne. An historic visit had been made to her Court by representatives from the Six Nations people, then living in Mohawk Valley. They pledged their loyalty and friendship to the Crown and made a request for a Chapel and a Priest. Consequently the Queen Anne Chapel was built, and a Minister was provided through the New England Company. Upon completion of construction, Queen Anee presented her Chapel of the Mohawks with a Bible, Silver Communion Service and prayer books. This Chapel was destroyed as an aftermath of the American Revolution.

During this war, many of the Six Nations people, under the leadership of Captain Joseph Brant, chose to ally themselves with those in the Thirteen Colonies who remained loyal to the British Crown. Upon the defeat of the British Crown Forces, and the formation of the United States of America, the loyal Six Nations people, rather than swerve from their loyalty to the Crown, chose to abandon their homelands in their beloved Mohawk Valley and moved north into Canada, a British Crown Colony.

Through the terms of the Haldimand Treaty of 1784, Joseph Brant secured a land grant for native loyalists six miles on either side of the Grand River from its source to its mouth. Brant also negotiated for and received a church, the present St. Paul's Her Majesty's Chapel of the Mohawks, built upon the banks of the Grand River in 1785 in the reign of King George III. The Mohawk Chapel, as it is commonly known, stands as a shrine to the Six Nations as a symbolic link between the Crown of England and the people of the Grand River Valley.

During the Revolution, the Queen Anne Bible and Silver were buried for safe-keeping on the farm of Boyd Hunter. These treasures were recovered and returned to the Mohawk Chapel upon its completion in 1785 and dedication in 1788. At this time the Communion Silver was divided between the Grand River Mohawks and the Bay of Quinte Mohawks. The Mohawk Chapel Communion Silver and Bible are now in safe keeping. Until 1970 and the closing of the Mohawk Institute, they were kept in the school safe in custody of the Chaplain and the Communion Silver was used during the regular Communion Services at the Chapel.

The Mohawk Chapel did not have a resident Minister until the arrival of the Rev. Robert Lugger in 1827. He was sent out by the New England Company, who continued their support and interest in the Six Nations people in their new homeland. In 1830 the Chapel was consecrated by the second Anglican Bishop of Quebec, The Right Reverend Charles Stewart. Until 1833 the Mohawk Chapel was the only Protestant Church on the Grand River.

In 1841 the Mohawk Village was surrendered to the Crown, and the First Nations people migrated to the Six Nations Reserve. As a result, the congregation slowly disappeared and shifted their attendance to the Kenyangah Church, St. John's Anglican, on the Reserve. By this time the Mohawk Institute 1831-1970, a school for First Nations boys and girls, had been built by the New England Company and the Chapel came into use over the years mainly as a school Chapel. The principal of the school and the Chaplain of the Chapel were usually the same person.
