Lenapehoking
Lenapehoking NYC: the Indigenous roots of New York .Honoring
New York City, often celebrated as a global hub of culture, finance, and innovation, is located on the ancestral lands of the Lenape people. Known as Lenapehoking, this region was home to the Lenape tribes long before European settlers arrived. Lenapehoking extends across present-day New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware, with Manhattan (originally called Manahatta) serving as a key part of their homeland. The Lenape lived in harmony with the land, practicing sustainable farming, hunting, and fishing while fostering a deep spiritual connection to nature. Today, as NYC thrives, it’s essential to acknowledge and honor the Lenape heritage, which continues to shape the cultural and historical identity of the city. Efforts to preserve and recognize Lenape culture can be found through local organizations, land acknowledgments, and educational initiatives, ensuring their legacy is remembered and respected.
