The third United Lenape/Lunáapeew Nations Pow Wow continues Sunday, October 4, at the LeFrak Center at Lakeside in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park. Organizers list Sunday’s hours as 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Eastern, with free admission and an RSVP available through Prospect Park.
The two-day gathering brings together Lenape and allied Indigenous dancers, drummers, artists, craftspeople and food makers. Its announced Youth Spotlight features participants ages 6 to 17, placing younger generations within a program supported by community elders.
The event accompanies the Museum of the City of New York’s exhibition, “Halumii Ktapihna: Lenape Legacies and Futures.” Developed with the Éenda-Lŭnaapeewáhkiing Collective, the exhibition includes work by more than 30 artists.
Together, the gathering and exhibition offer a way to understand Lenape culture through contemporary community voices. The emphasis is on people creating, teaching and carrying traditions forward today.
Organizers include Prospect Park Alliance, the Éenda-Lŭnaapeewáhkiing Collective and American Indian Community House. The museum’s October 1 announcement confirms the program and schedule; it does not establish attendance figures or report what occurred at individual performances.
Visitors should consult the official event page for arrival information and any changes before traveling. The photograph accompanying this article shows the park in 2017, rather than participants in this weekend’s gathering.
