Ndakinna Education Center Ndakinna (pronounced en-dak-enna) is Abenaki for "Our Land". Bowman Bruchac Memorial Nature Preserve.

Our many cultural and wilderness based programs emphasize observation skills, interactive learning activities, critical thinking, cooperative problem solving and teambuilding for all ages. The Center is home to many educational exhibits, including Native tools, baskets, rattles, drums, shelters, clothing as well as a full-scale birch bark canoe and several wigwams. Besides the exhibit space, the Center also contains a large presentation room, an animal tracking room with more than 1000 plaster casts of North American Mammal tracks. The gift shop offers visitors a rich collection of educational resources including books about Northeast Native American tribes/nations (such as the Mohawk, Seneca, Abenaki, Wampanoag, Pequot, and Mohegan), animal tracking, wilderness crafts & skills, and Native storytelling. We present most of our programs and series year-round at the Education Center and on the adjacent 80-acre Marion F. The beautiful trails that wind through the woods are used for bird and tree walks, animal tracking, and for enjoyment by the participants of our youth, family and adult programs.
