Merrimack Mishoon Canoe, Indigenous Family Programs

Sunday, September 27, 2026

12:00 pm to 4:00 pm

Due to inclement weather, this event has been moved to the inside of the Custom House Maritime Museum.

Imagine Studios and Newburyport Indigenous Peoples Day Event (10/10/2026) welcomes the public to view the Merrimack Mishoon, 20 foot dugout canoe, and learn about Indigenous maritime traditions with cultural artisans and educators, Larry Spotted Crow Mann (Ohketeau Cultural Center, Hassanamisco Nipmuc) and Sarah Small Turtle (Lennox Island Mi’Kmaq). Join these knowledge keepers for hands-on family activities, make a corn husk doll, weave a fishnet, listen to stories, join a dance, play games, and learn regional Indigenous history.
