The fourth annual Maine Native American Summer Market and Demonstration will be held on Saturday August 25, 2012 from 10am-3:30pm at the Sabbathday Lake Shaker Village in New Gloucester.

Special features new this year include drumming, singing and dancing performances by the Penobscot Nation's Burnurwurbskek Singers and the Passamaquoddy tribe's Sipayik Dance Troupe, combined with traditional story-telling and flute playing by David Sanipass, a member of the Aroostook Band of Micmacs. In addition to these scheduled performances, there will be more than 25 Native American artists from among the Penobscot, Passamaquoddy, Micmac and Maliseet tribes in Maine selling their crafts and demonstrating their skills throughout the day.
