Quinsigamond Mishoon Burn

June 1 - June 9

Free
Join us as our Nipmuc/k community gathers to burn a mishoon in our homeland, just as our ancestors have for generations. Our week-long gathering will host other events, some exclusive to Nipmuc/k families only, and others open to the general public. The week will culminate in the Quinsigamond Paddle. We are still in the planning phase. If you would like to bring your skills, artistry, knowledge or support to this event, please contact the event coordinators. This event, in conjunction with Project Mishoon, the underwater archaeology project at the lake, is supported in various ways by:
The Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR)
Shrewsbury Conservation Commission
Lake Quinsigamond Watershed Association
Lake Quinsigamond Commission
Shrewsbury Fire and Police
and is financed by a grant from Massachusetts Office of Outdoor and Recreation (MOOR)
Thank you to everyone
