Enjoy a Wampanoag experience in Westport
The Westport Land Conservation Trust and Westport River Watershed Alliance will host a “Wampanoag Experience,” highlighting Native history and the deep traditional knowledge and life ways of Wampanoag culture. Beginning May 13, Wampanoag members will camp at Westport Town Farm and perform the traditional burning of a mishoon (make a canoe by burning out the interior of a large log). The process takes 7 to 10 days and all-day monitoring by a group of Wampanoag.
WHAT: “Wampanoag Experience”
WHEN: Seven to 10 days beginning May 13. The public can observe the burn daily with educational programming from noon to 2 p.m., and share in traditionally prepared food around mid-day daily.
WHERE: Westport Town Farm, 830 Drift Road, Westport
MORE INFO: Those wishing to visit the farm can register at westportlandtrust.org/events
