For Indigenous communities across Turtle Island, the winter solstice is a time of storytelling, dance and ceremony, a time for connecting with the natural environment and spending time with loved ones.

Join Plimoth Patuxet Museums for a special performance celebrating the winter solstice with the Eastern Cedar Singers, a group of Indigenous women from the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe. They sing in their native language, using the power of song to unite and uplift communities.

Their songs, deeply rooted in ancestral traditions, serve as a call for healing, connection, and support. The Eastern Cedar Singers performances foster a sense of belonging and encourage collective action to help those in need, to preserve cultural heritage, and to inspire hope and solidarity.

This program is funded in part by Mass Humanities, which receives support from the Massachusetts Cultural Council and is an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
