Take time to visit Highfield’s StoryWalk throughout the month featuring Rock Your Mocs, Pow Wow Day, and Keepunumuk, starting October 14th, Indigenous Peoples Day, and continuing through the month.

This event was made possible due in part through the generous support from the Rotary Club of Falmouth, and Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe’s Education Department.

Highfield is hosting programs and activities throughout October to raise awareness of the culture and history of local tribes whose ancestral lands include Cape Cod, the Islands, and reach to Marshfield and the Blue Hills. Check out everything that is happening in our month-long celebration!
