Land and Culture Walk

Experience
Join us for a guided Land & Culture Walk at Baile nan Gàidheal | Highland Village. This special folklife experience offers an opportunity to explore the histories, traditions, and connections to the land shared by the Mi'kmaq (L'nu) and Gaels of Nova Scotia.

Along the way, participants will learn about traditional knowledge of local plants, medicines, and the enduring relationships between people and the natural world that have shaped Mi'kmaw and Gaelic life for generations. Following the walk, guests are invited to enjoy tea and freshly prepared bonnach while continuing the conversation.
