The Norcross Wildlife Foundation invites you to join our local NIPMUC tribe as they embark on a week-long journey to build a traditional mishoon, also known as a dugout canoe, using an ancestral practice that involves the controlled burning and carving of a carefully selected white pine tree from the Norcross property.

Come to witness the process and learn about the traditional Nipmuc ways of life.
