For thousands of years before the arrival of Europeans in North America the Lenape (Delaware) thrived on the land where we now live. While William Penn is a heroic figure in school books about Pennsylvania history, colonization by Quakers and other Europeans had a direct impact in removing the Lenape from this land. This talk will present some of that history as well as the work of Quakers today to support Indigenous peoples. A resource list of books and websites will be available to help you discover more.
