Join CRWA and Indigenous Peoples Day (IPD) Newton for the third annual Quinobequin Intertribal Paddle on Saturday, June 28, on the Auburndale section of the Charles River!

The paddle celebrates the historic and continued relationship indigenous peoples in Massachusetts have with the Charles— originally named the Quinobequin. It will start at Newton’s Historic Boathouse, pass Norumbega Park, loop around Fox Island, and end at Auburndale Cove. All skill levels are welcome, and experienced paddlers will be in each vessel.

This event is free for all Native participants. For non-Native participants, organizers suggest a $100 donation for adults and a $25 donation for youth under 16. There is also a pay-as-you-can option; no one will be turned away for lack of funds. This event is supported by a Massachusetts Office of Outdoor Recreation (MOOR) grant and a partnership with Paddle Boston. Those who cannot attend are encouraged to make a donation - all proceeds will support the 5th Annual Indigenous Peoples Day Ceremonial Celebration in Newton.
