The Church in Sag Harbor presents Knowledge Friday with The Shinnecock Kelp Farmers on Friday, May 3, at 6 PM.
The Shinnecock Kelp Farmers are working to save and preserve our shores through the application of traditional Shinnecock teachings and climate science. Did you know that kelp is actively working to heal our East End waters? You can learn more during the talk.
Darlene Troge, Donna Collins-Smith, Tela Troge, Danielle Hopson Begun, and Rebecca Genia are the multi-generational collective known as The Shinnecock Kelp Farmers. Enrolled members of the Shinnecock Indian Nation, the women farmers leverage 10,000+-year-old tradition and relationship with the sea and seaweed to capture carbon and nitrogen that has poisoned the waters of Shinnecock Bay and beyond. Learn how the embodiment and application of Indigenous wisdom is cleaning and healing the waters and laying the groundwork for green jobs on the East End.
Tickets are free to members with RSVP and $10 for non-members. View the events calendar here.
