About this event

As a part of creating a better understanding of the Seven Years' War and the importance of the native nations involved in the war, we welcome Adam Waterbear DePaul from the Lennia Lenape' of Pennsylvania (https://www.lenape-nation.org/). The Lenni- Lenape' have a cultural center in Easton Pennsylvania.

Adam Waterbear DePaul, Chief of Education and Tribal Storykeeper of the Lenape Nation of Pennsylvania, will discuss the past and present of the Lenape people in Pennsylvania. This will include pre-colonial life, relationships with William Penn, the era of Penn's Sons and the Walking Purchase, the Lenape diaspora and where they are today, the Lenape who remained in their homeland and how they remained, and what the Lenape Nation of Pennsylvania is doing today to revitalize Lenape culture and continue their role as caretakers of the environment. Adam will invite discussion and questions from the audience.
