A Lenape Pow Wow Comes (Back) to Manhattan
On Sunday, the Lenape people held its first pow wow in Manhattan in hundreds of years, since the indigenous community was driven from the island. George Stonefish, organizer of the Lenape pow wow, talks about the event's meaning and importance.
Can we PLEASE have more conversations like this with First Nations people? In fact any conversation they would like to have? Keep hearing from the governor and the mayor, but not the traditional custodians and first peoples of this land. Thank you Mr Stonefish!

By the way, I have no problem with him calling out Xtianity for its negative impact on First Nation people. If only more people did the same!
