The Lenape People in the Hudson Valley
*The event has already taken place on this date: Sat, 11/09/2024
On Saturday, November 9 at 1 p.m., we will offer a talk about the local history of the Lenape Native Americans, the first inhabitants of the region.
For over 12,000 years, the ancestors of the Lenape culture lived and thrived in Lenapehoking, the land of the Lenape, which included the Hudson Valley. Local tribes such as the Wappinger, Esopus and Tappan encountered Henry Hudson along the Mahicannituck in 1609, changing things dramatically forever. Mount Gulian property was identified as the site of temporary Lenape encampments, and was also the site of the Rombout Patent of 1683, the Indian Deed selling much of Dutchess County to colonial settlers. Interaction with the Europeans forced the Lenape to develop survival strategies, resulting in a remnant leaving the area to live elsewhere.
