About this experience

We will be taking a fun and wildly different look at the night sky, one filled with laughter, suspense, wonderment, spiritual connection, story telling along with the occasional "WOW" moments

Connect and Experience the Stars the way our Native American Ancestors did, But with Modern Day Technology We use GEN3 Military Night Vision Binoculars, that light up the sky like it was 1000 years ago. This allows us to see the sky the way our ancestors would have before light pollution. Utilizing this technology allows us to see thousands and thousands of stars no longer visible with our naked eye. The moment you put these binoculars up to your eyes you will be transported to another time. Our guests are immediately blown away by the experience. The Mi’kmaq people call it "etuaptmumk" or two eyed seeing
