Project Support: Traditional Teachings and Language Project
The “Traditional Teachings and Language” project provides Penobscot people the opportunity to learn cultural skills and techniques that mirror how our Penobscot ancestors organized their life activities around a seasonal calendar. Workshops employ talented community members as traditional teachers, incorporate hands-on language learning with all activities, and provide multi-generational opportunities for cultural learning and relationship building. Funds will be used to provide stipends for traditional teachers and to assist with workshop related expenses.
