About Us
Founded in 1995, Ndakinna has been a cornerstone of the community for over two decades. We create and deliver immersive educational and cultural programming that celebrates Native American traditions, provides wilderness education and training, and fosters meaningful connections with the natural world. Our year-round offerings include cultural events, musical performances, art exhibits, and educational programs designed for participants of all ages. We are proud to be located on Saratoga County's first conservation easement.
Ndakinna(pronounced en-dak-enna) means our land in the Eastern Algonquian language of western Abenaki, still spoken in Saratoga County and taught at our education center.
