Introduction to Giving Thanks Through Prayer
This is a great opportunity to get together with family and friends from all four Wampanoag communities while we are introduced to our language or are continuing our journey by learning to say prayers of thanksgiving. We’ll also break immersion and share lunch together and visit.
This is an all-day immersion class for those who are brand new and not so new to speaking. Immersion means we learn to speak by using our Wôpanâak through example, pictures, and actions.
Class size is limited to 20 and first-come, first-served
