We toured École Pointe-au-Chien, a French immersion school, and visited the PACIT Center, where we learned about Native American pottery and other materials used by the Tribe to create art, food, & shelter. He also taught us how to make dream catchers from scratch!

We ended the day with a boat tour, where Jody and Mr. Donald led us to a couple of living shorelines installed by @CRCL1988, and they brought us to see areas of visible land loss, accompanied by firsthand stories of the land and structures lost during their lifetimes alone.
