  1. Before Tottenville had its name, the Lenni Lenape called this place Aquehonga Monocknong — sandy banks and spirited forest. Their matrilineal society was remarkably progressive: women elders could remove male leaders they deemed unfit. They lived communally, moved with the land's rhythms, and thrived on the abundant oysters of Raritan Bay.

  6. Last year, I saved seeds from some acorn and butternut #squash some friends gave us from their #organic #farm and now the final sister of our Three Sisters #Garden has sprouted. As these squash plants grow, they will provide natural protection for our #sweet #corn and #pole #beans . This style of #gardening was used historically by the Lenni Lenape #Indigenous #Americans who still live here in #NewJersey near me as the Ramapough #Lenape #Nation #gardeningmastodon

    The history of Tottenville begins as all history in the United States begins — with the indigenous people already living here. In Tottenville, that would be the Lenni Lenape.

  17. #Lenape Culture. Like everything in Lenape life there is a balance, while Fire is designated as “male” the balance, water, is considered “female” and the human “caretakers” are respectively male and female, that is men generally are responsible for making and caretaking of fire and women are the caretakers of the waters. Fire

  23. " Lenape Village" The #Lenape were the first human inhabitants of the #Philadelphia region.
    People arrive at a Lenape Village by dugout canoe, with bark houses in the background.
    The Lenape or "Original People," West Philadelphia’s first natives. They were a nomadic people belonging to the Algonquian language family. Important tribes within this language group included the Ojibwa, Blackfoot, Shawnee, and Lenape. The Lenape were divided into three sub-tribes: the Minsi (People of the Stone Country) inhabited the northern part of Pennsylvania, the Unami (People Who Live Down-River) inhabited the central region of Pennsylvania, and the Unalachtigo (People Who Live by the Ocean) inhabited the southern area of #Pennsylvania .
    The Lenape resided in bands along various rivers and creeks. They lived on hunting and growing foodstuffs and depended on the fertility of the land. Due to their heavy tillage of the land, the soils they farmed gradually lost their productivity. As a result, Lenape frequently relocated. Generally, an occupied area lost its usefulness in two decades' time. Thus, the natives constantly set up, abandoned, and resettled communities throughout Pennsylvania.
    Archeological evidence indicates that the Lenape inhabited the area centuries before the Europeans arrived. They established various villages along the Schuylkill River and its tributaries. Recent excavations in West Philadelphia reveal evidence of settlements along the west bank of the Schuylkill River along today’s Civic Center Boulevard.4 In 2001, a team of archeologists excavated the area prior to the building of a parking garage. During the excavation, numerous prehistoric artifacts were found, providing evidence of a fairly large and stable indigenous community occupying the area during the late archaic and early woodland periods, six thousand years ago.

    The Mannahatta Project is a Wildlife Conservation Society research project in historical ecology led by landscape ecologist Eric W. Sanderson that principally ran for 10 years from 1999-2009, reconstructing the island at the point of first contact between the Dutch ship Halve Maen and the Lenape in 1...

  28. This is probably a long shot, but if any #Mohican or #Lenape folks see this, I wanted to ask something about the river that flows into NYC from the north.

    The original name for it would be the Mahicannittuk, right? Is it appropriate for me as a white person to call it that? It feels weird calling it after Henry Hudson, but I’m also aware that I’m still quite ignorant about the relevant history, and I don’t want to assume it’s appropriate for me to start using the traditional name for it.
