Participants will learn how to start a fire in the snow, how to find food in the forest and how to make a shelter from the natural environment, according to a news release. Visitors also will see examples of how Native Peoples of the Eastern Woodlands lived by visiting the replicated Algonkian village on the 15-acre site in Washington, Conn., that is composed of wigwams and longhouses and the remnants of “the three sisters garden.”
