Lenape Perspectives Talk at the Tacony LAB

Learn about the Lenni Lenape history on the Delaware Riverfront

Lenape Perspectives and art activity

Join Adam DePaul of the Lenape Nation of Pennsylvania and resident artist Lisa Kelley at Tacony Lab for a talk about the history of the Lenape in this area. This event is part of the programming for the Riverfront North Partnership Greenway artist residency and Mural Arts Philadelphia’s Tacony LAB Community Art Center both located within the Tacony neighborhood, a name is derived from Lenape origins meaning “forest,” “wilderness,” or “uninhabited land.”

Participants will be invited to weave a small bowl during the talk. All materials will be provided.
