The large War Canoe will return this year thanks to our partnership with Gedakina, Inc. Through their Pathfinders Program, friends from the Penobscot Tribe in Maine will bring the 28' voyager to the pow-wow for attendees to take a ride around the outer Pond. The rides will be led by Native Master Paddlers from the Tribe. The paddle is a different and fun experience for everyone as well as an educational opportunity based on some of the discussions that take place in the Canoe about the land, nature, art, culture and history.

We will also have canoe and kayak paddling opportunities for our visitors. Everyone will be able to take either a kayak or the small canoe ride around the shore line of the Pond. These opportunities will be offered free of charge and safely guided on land by MCNAA Advisory Council Member Patricia Rocker (Chappaquiddick Wampanoag).
