The Brooklyn Public Library, in collaboration with the Lenape Center, presents a talk to introduce and discuss a new Lenape curriculum developed for PK-12 students.

This curriculum aims to bring Indigenous history to life and address the often overlooked narrative of the Lenape people in New York City. The talk features key contributors to the curriculum project, including Rachel Talbert from Teachers College, Columbia University; Joe Baker, Executive Director of Lenape Center and Hadrien Coumans, Deputy Director of Lenape Center.

Adapted in part from the Lenape Center’s Lenapehoking Anthology, the Lenape curriculum is designed for students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, with four different installments tailored to specific age groups. It aims to provide a comprehensive and age-appropriate approach to teaching Lenape history and culture.
