Celebrating 400 Years of the Greatest City in the World
January 6, 2025
2025 marks a historic occasion — our city’s 400th anniversary. It marks four centuries since the first European settlement of Manhattan in 1625, on land then known as Lenapehoking, the homeland of the Lenape people. The tiny Dutch colony began as New Amsterdam and then changed to New York when the English took control and expanded rapidly. A century ago, its boundaries increased beyond the island of Manhattan to encompass the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island.
To celebrate our city’s 400th anniversary, we are proud to announce the launch of our “Founded By NYC” campaign, which focuses on commemorating and celebrating our city’s 400th birthday and honoring the Indigenous communities that came long before. The campaign highlights contributions from New York City that have shaped our nation and affirmed our country’s place in the world.
Our website, FoundedByNYC.com, features events and activities that showcase our city’s amazing 400-year history. You can also sign up for our newsletter, which will keep you up to date on events in the five boroughs and submit information about your own events that illustrate New York City’s past so that we can showcase it on our calendar.
Even as we look forward and celebrate all our great city has to offer, our administration is deeply committed to acknowledging and engaging with our city’s complex past. That is why we met with Chief Brad KillsCrow of the Delaware Tribe of Indians at Gracie Mansion and have proclaimed November 20 as “Lenape Heritage Day.” The Lenape people are the original inhabitants of this region, we acknowledge the pain they have experienced and the great contributions that have made — and continue to make…

As many of you know, I have been writing articles about The Federation of Aboriginal Nations of the Americas (addressed as FANA) and the SandHill Band of Lenape and Cherokee Indians (NY, NJ, PA), (addressed as the SandHill) since 2021.
.
I have taken the readers on an Aboriginal Federation’s evolution journey from the unknown to becoming a globally recognized entity.
Along the way, readers have had a chance to learn about the different treaties and agreements that FANA has entered into and its establishment of global relationships. Over the years, I have written about some of the Federation’s members and their chosen paths.
Today I need to bring everyone back to an article I wrote on July 21, 2023. The article is titled “Federation of Aboriginal Nations of the Americas and SOAD Sign Historical Cooperation Agreement”
The article brings forth the historical similarities that the Indigenous people who had lived in Africa, and the indigenous people who lived in what would become the United States, experienced during the age of European colonization.
It addresses “a historic moment was slowly being made as FANA and SOAD began taking the first steps in bringing together “the global diasporas and indigenous peoples of the world” and have signed a cooperation agreement between them. The two signatories on the Cooperation Agreement are Dr. Louis–Georges Tin, Prime Minister of SOAD, and SandHill Band of Lenape and Cherokee Indians Principal Chief Dr. Ronald Yonaguska Holloway, Minister of International Affairs of FANA.”
I want to bring your attention to the above document titled Honorary Member of the Royal Chamber of SOAD that FANA’s Minister of International Affairs and its UN Ambassador Principal Chief Dr. Ronald Yonaguska Holloway of the SandHill recently received from SOAD’s Prime Minister last week.
The Certificate had…

The congregation of the First Presbyterian Church of Lansdowne, Pennsylvania
LOUISVILLE — During worship on the final Sunday in Advent, First Presbyterian Church of Lansdowne, Pennsylvania, formally surrendered 15% of the proceeds from the recent sale of its church manse to descendants of the Lenape people, the Indigenous stewards of the land on which the church now stands. The 74-minute worship service can be viewed here.
“It is important for us to frame this act as a surrender — an acknowledgement that these funds are not ours to hold,” said the Rev. Jonathan Britt, the church’s pastor. “We cannot separate the resources we have from the colonial history that displaced the Lenape people, whose stewardship of this land was sacred and enduring. Surrendering these funds is a small but tangible step in repairing a fractured relationship and honoring the humanity and dignity of the Lenape people.”
Britt said the approximately $27,000 that was surrendered during the service on Dec. 22 was determined in conversation with Restorative Actions, an economic equity initiative born from the intersection of theology, justice and economics. The 15% of the manse’s sale proceeds represents not only a financial acknowledgement but a spiritual and moral response to the harm done to Indigenous communities, Britt noted.
During his Dec. 22 sermon, Britt drew from a devotion by the Rev. Dr. William Yoo of Columbia Theological Seminary published in “Boundless,” an anti-colonial Advent devotional published by Unbound. In his devotional, Yoo points out that abolitionists including William Lloyd Garrison lifted up Jesus’ ministry as an important reason for their advocacy. “When other Christians criticized him as an instigator of disorder whose activism imperiled the union of the Northern and Southern states, Garrison invited them to open their Bibles and read texts such as

There will be many commemorative events to highlight city’s resilience, diverse history and cultural legacy.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced Founded By NYC, a year-long initiative to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the city’s founding.
Launched on New Years Eve, the celebration aims to showcase the creativity, resilience and diversity that have defined the city over the centuries. In partnership with NYC Tourism + Conventions, the program will honor New York’s history while spotlighting the voices of marginalized communities, including Indigenous people, women and people of color.
“For four centuries, history has happened here,” said Adams. “And in 2025, through our ‘Founded By NYC’ campaign, we will celebrate all those who came here from around the world over those 400 years to build our great city — the New Yorkers whose vibrant culture, innovation, and abilities continue to make us the envy of the world today.
The mayor said the city’s history has not been without its challenges, and that the story of New York City began a millennia ago, long before the Dutch arrived, This land was inhabited by the Lenape people, Adams said.
The mayor emphasized the importance of recognizing the complex and diverse history of the city, stating, “To properly recognize our city’s complex, diverse and unparalleled history, we must also acknowledge the painful parts of its origin, and ensure we are celebrating the Lenape’s rich contributions to our city as much as anyone else’s. The story of New York City is one of perseverance and triumph, and, in 2025, we will show the world why we are the greatest city in the world.”
A Year of Celebration and Reflection
The Founded By NYC campaign invites organizations to submit events that highlight historical significance, cultural impact, innovation and sustainability. Events will span art, music, film and more, with citywide programming that…
