5/14 VOICES OF THE HUDSON VALLEY'S INDIGENOUS PEOPLES

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.
 
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, Assistant Curator at Croton Point Park.  Thursday, May 14 at 7:00 p.m. at the Croton Free Library. This free event is sponsored by Croton Friends of History.
