Beneath a full moon with firelight dancing over their faces, Wolastoqey Grand Chief Ron Tremblay led men and women through a Grandmother Moon ceremony. 

Wolastoqey content creator Ann Paul joined the ceremony at the Women's Resiliency Lodge in Gagetown, singing song after song for Grandmother Moon. 

"Normally we don't carry on with so many songs, but everyone was having such good energy that the songs kept coming," she said.
