Join us at the Boylston Public Library for this family friendly Earth Day celebration of the Indigenous Peoples with Ray Lachance (Nouba Tewk Tomakwa) of the Abenaki/Mi'Kmaq tribes. This celebration will honor the world around us and explore how everything is connected. This educational and fun event will include a recognition of the territory we know of as New England, which was once the territory of many villages, clans, and tribes of the great Algonquin Nation who were and still are stewards of Mother Earth. We will then celebrate with dancing, games, and craft our own native necklaces to serve as a reminder of the world we are a part of.  Bring chairs and come ready for fun and excitement as we celebrate Earth Day; registration encouraged. If there is rain we will be meeting at the Boylston Town House - 599 Main Street, Boylston, Massachusetts 01505 Registration: http://engagedpatrons.org/EventsRegister.cfm?SiteID=1914&BranchID=1000002642&Branch=Boylston%20Public%20Library&EventID=521504&PK=
