Exploring Lenapehoking: The Land of the Lenape – A talk with Archaeologist Matt Bielecki
Join Matt Bielecki for an exploration of the precontact and early colonial Lenape (now referred to as the Delaware) through an examination of their material culture. The Lenape tribe lived in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York. Archeological evidence indicates that the Lenape inhabited this region centuries before the Europeans arrived. They hunted and were skilled agriculturalists who preferred to establish villages at the confluence of streams and tributaries.
