These speakers will lead a fascinating discussion about Native American Trail Marker Trees, their historical significance, and their role in navigation.
Following the discussion, guests will witness the commemoration of a new oak sapling, purposefully bent to serve as a future trail marker.

The program will conclude with a smudging and blessing ceremony to honor this transition.
