With Massachusetts’ deep history with indigenous people, Highfield Hall & Gardens in Falmouth is partnering with members of the Wampanoag Education committee, and Rotary of Falmouth, to present a fun and educational day-long festival to celebrate and raise awareness of the culture and history of local tribes whose ancestral lands include Cape Cod, the Islands, and reach to Marshfield and the Blue Hills.

This family friendly day will include hands-on activities such as corn husk dolls, clay beads, and quahog shell rattles; traditional games, dance, and tastes of Native American food. There will also be vendors from the Wampanoag Trading Post, Morningstar Herbals, Wampanoag Garden Club, and additional jewelry to peruse.

The food samplings will include traditional fare such as Massasoit Venison Stew, Traditional Wampanoag Fresh Quahog Chowder and Native Garden Potato, Squash and Onion Sauté.
