Celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ Weekend, as we honor Indigenous communities and recognize their cultures and contributions through talks, hands-on activities, and an audio guide highlighting female Lenape Saunksquas (Chieftains) and their role in the 15th century Dutch-Indigenous alliance. Through family-friendly programs, learn about the important role of plants and food in Indigenous cultures and purchase handmade items from local Indigenous artists.
