Event Details

Voices of the Hudson Valley’s Indigenous Peoples

Nick Schumatoff, a former curator of Ward Pound Ridge Reservation, sought to preserve the Lenape culture and dialect. In the 1970s, Schumatoff and a team of researchers went to Oklahoma to record, preserve, and learn from the voices of the last remaining Unami-speaking Lenape population. This is their story, with archival audio, presented by Jean Klurfeld.

Free events sponsored by Croton Friends of History. Visit their website for details on topics & speakers.

These programs were booked by a nonprofit group in the community, according to the Library's Room Use Policy.
