  • Mishoon Burn at Community Boating Center

    Community Boating Center 1641 Padanaram Avenue, New Bedford, MA, United States

    The Community Boating Center (CBC) presents a program celebrating Indigenous culture, history, and community. Come and learn from local Indigenous artists Hartman Deetz and Annawon Weeden as they make a mishoon (dugout canoe) at the CBC. The process uses fire to hollow out a pine log over the course of 7-10 days. Come to join in, hear stories and histories, and see, touch and smell for yourself a process that takes you back in time. Food demonstrations will also be offered at specific dates and times. Follow @cbcnb for updates. Public programming offered: October 21: 4-6PM October 22: 4-6 PM October 23: 1-4 PM October 25: 11-2PM October 27: 4-6PM Be sure to attend the 1st Annual New Bedford Powwow on October 24 from noon to 5PM at the Fort Taber Community Center.
