Lunchtime Conversation – Lenape History and Culture

Bring your lunch for an informal and open discussion about Lenape history and culture in the Philadelphia region, with the Chief Keeper of Culture for the Lenape Nation of Pennsylvania. Hear about the “Walking Purchase,” through which the sons of William Penn acquired Lenape land in the 1730s, as well as a re-enactment of it in 2019: a Walking Purchase Healing Journey. Touching on past transportation modes – canoes and horses – the conversation will include time for questions.
