No Comments on Brooklyn exhibition focuses on Indigenous people of NY: The Lenape

NEW YORK — It’s a sight to behold: a beaded bandolier bag that dates back to the 1830s, created through intricate stitchwork and made by a member of the Lenape Nation, who were indigenous to present-day New York City and the surrounding area.

“They probably started during the winter months, when people were indoors, and people were working on these bags over the course of let’s say, one year, so they take a lot of time to create,” said Joe Baker, co-founder and executive director of the Lenape Center. “And during the process, woven into the bags, are the stories and experiences of the maker.”
