Mapping Lenapehoking

Abstract

This film is part of a larger effort to interrogate histories of Indigenous dispossession in the Americas. By focusing on the colonial mapping of Delaware homelands known as Lenapehoking (in eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and southern New York), we aim to deconstruct colonial mis-representations, re-inscribe Lenape histories of place, and otherwise encourage more accurate understandings of Indigenous histories, here and elsewhere.
