Dear AICH,
The American Indian Community House hosted a beautiful memorial service last Thursday, Feb 23, 2023 to commemorate the horrible slaughter of Lenape People in 1643.
The ceremony, held at Corlears Hook Park at the intersection of Jackson and Cherry Streets in Lower Manhattan, opened with prayer and burning sage and offering tobacco offered by AICH ED Geboe. Next a Land Acknowledgement and words of welcome was led by AICH Board Member George Willis Stonefish, Delaware Nation, Moravian of the Thames First Nation.
In attendance were also Chief Dwight Perry of the Raamapo Lenape Native American Tribe and Chiefs Urie Ridgeway and Bruce Mann of the Nanticoke Lenni-Lenape Tribal Nation.
AICH provided a memorial giveaway and other cultural and human rights institutions and organizations were present as well as AICH Youth Council members. Activities concluded with a lunch at a local Spanish restaurant on and Grand street.
Thank you,
Geboe, ED AICH
