Mi’kmaw Moons Walk and Read Event

June 24, 2023 @ 2:00 pm

“📖🚶‍♀️MI’KMAW MOONS WALK & READ EVENT 👨‍🦯📖
Join us to take a stroll through a year in Mi’kma’ki guided by the moon with stories by authors Cathy LaBlanc & Dave Chapman of Mi’kmaw Moons.
🌕For thousands of years, the Mi’kmaq have been closely observing the natural world and the cycles of the moon and the stars to track the passage of time. Each full moon in an annual cycle was named by the Mi’kmaq to relate to a seasonal event, such as tomcod spawning, birds laying eggs or berry ripening.
For the past decade Mi’kmaw Elders and Knowledge Keepers have shared stories of the traditional night sky calendar with authors Cathy LeBlanc and David Chapman. In this book Cathy relays this knowledge in stories told to her young relation Holly.
This event is FREE, signed books will be available for purchase from the authors!
