Youth Project

  The Maine Acadian Heritage Council, an organization in the St. John Valley dedicated to the preservation and dissemination of the local history and culture  of Maine's Acadians,  has again hired youth to document traditional songs, foods, stories, medicine, and examples of transmitted arts such as making snowshoes, catalognes, couvertes défaites, braided rugs, hooked rugs and braided palm leaves.   Anna Faucher and Aspen Côté were hired for the summer of 2017.

The project is a collaboration between the Council and its sponsoring body, the National Park Service.

The project may be reached by calling 207-728-6826 or through e-mail at maineacadianheritage@gmail.com.
