Greater New York 2026: Wampum Belt Weaving with Metoac Indigenous Collective

Weave alongside the Metoac Indigenous Collective as you craft a wampum belt from quahog and whelk shells, the same materials northeastern Indigenous communities have used for centuries to record treaties and oral histories. It's a rare chance to learn an ancient art form directly from the people keeping it alive.
