Strawberry Thanksgiving Celebration
Native people celebrate Wutahum Wuyhan (strawberry moon) by giving thanks for the first berry of the year. Listen to stories at 11 am, make a strawberry pendant, shop for one of Mishki Thompson’s (Narragansett) spring bows for your hair, and taste a traditional strawberry drink. Free with Museum admission, free to Museum members. Trudie Lamb Richmond and Candyce Testa are recipients of the Southern New England Traditional Arts Apprenticeship Program, funded by the National Endowment of the Arts and supported by the Institute for Community Research and the Massachusetts Cultural Council.
