Native American Healing Workshop

Join the Westport Museum as we welcome Clan Mother Shoran Waupatukuay Piper of the Golden Hill Paugussett tribe for a one-of-a-kind workshop about traditional Native healing techniques. Learn how to create a soothing salve ointment through this rare hands-on experience. 

Clan Mother Piper, in addition to being well-versed in indigenous healing methods, is the tribal leader of the Paugussett nation and wider community, and an accomplished author. Her book “Red Road: Traditional Voice of Afro-Indigenous American” was published in 2021 and is described as a work where “you will learn and understand the true real authentic Afro-Indigenous American and Indigenous American traditional ways.”
