Join us for a special walk and talk at Coastal River’s Salt Bay Farm, for a public version of the Wabanaki Living Skills and Culture program we host for local schools every October. Passamaquoddy educator Sandra Bassett will share her personal story, demonstrate singing and drumming on the hillside, and teach a sampling of Passamaquoddy words. With Director of Education Sarah Gladu, hear a Wabanaki story and take a walk to look for traditionally used plants and visit the wigwams being built by local school kids.
