Crow Moon Festival

Hello Friends and family of the Crow Moon festival!

The Crow Moon festival is an Indigenous and settler collaboration to promote Indigenous seeds, agriculture/gardening, ceremony and traditions revolving around natural cycles of mother earth. We work closely with Abenaki, Mohawk and Huron-Wendat community members because they are the original people of Southern Quebec / Turtle Island. We work together to create safe spaces for sharing and learning that are based in mutual respect.

We really enjoyed the time that we have had together and hope to be able to offer you another round of learning and sharing in 2019.

Meegwetch, Nià:wen, Wliwni, Nakurmiik, Qujannamiik, Thank you, Merci
