The Shinnecock Nation Cultural Center and Museum in Southampton will hold its 13th annual winter festival Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The free event will feature live dance and musical performances, food, children’s activities, and the Art Market, which offers authentic Native American-made jewelry, art, and other handcrafted traditional and contemporary pieces.

The museum’s Wikun Village tells the story of ancient life at Shinnecock. Native artisans will demonstrate 17th-century cooking, wood carving, and finger weaving throughout the day. The village staff will drum and sing at 2:30. An open fire inside a wigwam will offer a respite from the winter weather.

A food stand will have such traditional dishes as succotash, slow-cooked with cranberry beans, corn, and pork, as well as clam chowder, roasted squash, and more.
