Reconnecting with Indigenous heritage and ecology is vital for healing and understanding historical ties to the land.
This Indigenous Peoples Day, Prospect Park is honoring the history and resilience of the land's first inhabitants through a powerful blend of art, storytelling and celebration in Brooklyn. The Prospect Park Alliance and the Éenda-Lŭnaapeewáhkiing Collective (EL Collective) have joined forces to present "Eelunaapéewi Ehaptoonáakanal: Voices of Lunáapeew/Lenape," a new video exhibition at the Lefferts Historic House running through Nov. 30. The exhibit, part of the ReImagine Lefferts initiative, features "video interviews with Lunáapeew/Lenape knowledge-keepers and culture bearers about their relationships to their ancestral homelands."
