What is flintknapping?
Flintknapping is the art of shaping rocks into stone tools, art objects, and jewellery.
Your guide is Brian Blaze Palmater, an indigenous artist and flintknapper from Tobique First Nation (Neqotkuk). His interests in nature, geology, and archaeology led him to research, excavate, and create flint tools and art pieces aligned with the traditions of his ancestors.
Cost: $65 per person (includes instruction, storytelling, and all materials required to try your hand at flintknapping, as well as admission to Place Fort La Tour).
