Lenape Lifeways Presentation in Ridgefield Park on Sunday, June 23, 2024
Lenape Lifeways Presentation in Ridgefield Park on Sunday, June 23, 2024
Sunday, June 23, 2024, 1300 - 1500
Carla Messinger founder of the Native American Heritage Programs will lead a discussion that includes an introduction covering the Lenape family life, clothing, hunting, gardening, past and present contributions, and much more.

As a descendant of the Lenape (Delaware) Indians (from Pennsylvania), who were the first inhabitants of eastern Pennsylvania, western New Jersey, and part of New York, Carla presents a true picture of early American Indian life, refuting stereotypes and developing an understanding of the Lenape peaceful, nature-centered lifestyle that could be of value to our competitive, ecologically troubled modern society.

In addition to the presentation, naturalist Stephen Quinn and Chairman of the Ridgefield Park Environmental Commission will talk about the plants and animals found in the Ridgefield Park Nature Preserve that would have been utilized by the Lenape in everyday life.
