Lenape Day

Bring the entire family to see members of the Ramapough Lenape tribe present a traditional drum circle, dancers in regalia, handicrafts vendors, real tools and artifacts, and an historical speaker all gathered around a model wigwam in the forest. 
Everyone can enjoy activities and crafts such as molding a clay pot by the fire, making a fire without matches, and playing the real games that Lenape children played to hone their skills. 
Take a guided walk on the wooded trails to discover how the Lenape used local plants to meet their needs or explore the interior of the wigwam, set up as it would have been hundreds of years ago.
