What do you know about the original inhabitants of the Delaware Valley, the Lenape? The only thing I knew was what I learned from a school field trip with my kids years ago to the Lenape Village at the Churchville Nature Center.

However, the Lenape have a long, rich, complicated, tragic, and hopeful story, which we will learn more about in this Zoom Living Land Acknowledgement Workshop on Tuesday, March 15th from 7-9pm. We will learn about the Lenape past and present and how we can better understand, partner, and support the thriving of indigenous peoples today.

For this offering, we are partnering with The Lenape Center, which has the mission of continuing the Lenape homeland through community, culture, and the arts. Since 2009, Lenape Center based in Manhattan and led by Lenape elders has created programs, exhibitions, workshops, performances, symposia, land acknowledgment, and ceremonies to continue the Lenape presence.

There are 40 spots available for this workshop so register soon! Contact Pastor Keith for Zoom registration information. You can read more about the Living Land Acknowledgment Workshop here.
