Journey Stones
The Mi’kmaq would use stones and rocks throughout history to tell stories and leave behind messages for those who would follow. By examining some of the traditional symbols we get a better understanding of how the Mi’kmaq communicated before there was a written language. Participants will get an opportunity to create their own symbol and draw it on a rock so that they too can carry it to tell their own story.
Cost: $3.00 per person
Recommended Primary to Grade 3
Time required: 20 minutes
Talking Sticks
Since long ago the talking stick has been instrumental in keeping order and teaching us respect for others. You will select your own stick; personalize it by using beautiful beads and paint, hence creating your own unique design. Natural leather ties and feathers are attached to the end.
Cost: $7.00 per person (Minimum 5 participants)
Recommended Ages: All ages

Playing Waltes
