Our mission is to uplift the Asian-American creative community by creating spaces for them to share their art and\, importantly\, to help them get paid for it so that they can keep making more. \nAlso known as the Harvest Moon Festival\, the Mid-Autumn Fest is an extraordinary opportunity to unite the Asian-American community in celebration of the fruits of our labor throug a day-long celebration—featuring a mix of performers and creators: musicians\, dancers\, DJs\, artisans\, culinary masters\, creators\, martial arts practitioners\, visual artists\, and comedians. \nSPONSORS \nTo be Announced! \nCOMMUNITY PARTNERS \nTo be Announced! \nABOUT MEALS FOR UNITY \nAs a group of young professionals who are predominantly first-generation Americans\, we understand the unique challenges and needs of the elderly AAPI community. Our experiences\, along with those passed on to us from generations prior\, have shaped our perspectives and gave us the knowledge and tools to be able to empathize\, support\, and uplift this neglected sector of the community. \nBy leveraging their resources\, networks\, and professional experiences\, they source culturally relevant meals from locally owned AAPI restaurants\, catering to the specific dietary needs and preferences of the elderly AAPI community while stimulating the Chinatown economy. Their goal is to provide not just sustenance\, but also a sense of comfort and nostalgia; paying homage to the heritage of those they serve. \nBy the end of 2024\, we have served over 22\,600 free meals\, have executed 66 meal distribution events\, have been aided by over 900 volunteers\, and have partnered with over 65 corporate sponsors\, non-profits\, and local restaurants. \nABOUT MOONLITE \nMoonlite exists to uncover\, illuminate\, and elevate the diverse perspectives and expressions that currently exist in our creative community of Asian Americans. We create wholly unique experiences to build our collective sustainability. In plain speak\, we love showcasing the diverse talents of the Asian-American creative community by creating spaces for them to share their art and\, importantly\, to help them get paid for it so that they can keep making more. \nWhile our goal is to build up our creative community and foster sustainable careers\, we believe wholeheartedly that this is best achieved when everyone is having A GOOD TIME. \nHere are some snaps from last year’s Mid-Autumn Fest.

SUMMARY:The Second United Lenape / Lunáapeew Nations Pow Wow
DESCRIPTION:Join the weekend of family friendly fun\, culture\, art and learning with Indigenous dancers\, drummers\, and artisan craft and food vendors. \nJoin Prospect Park Alliance\, the nonprofit that sustains the Prospect Park in partnership with the city\, Éenda-Lŭnaapeewáhkiing Collective\, which brings together Lunáapeew/Lenape communities who have been displaced across Turtle Island (North America)\, and American Indian Community House\, which promotes the well-being and visibility of the American Indian community\, for the Second United Lenape/Lunáapeew Nations Pow Wow at the LeFrak Center at Lakeside in Prospect Park. \nThe first Pow Wow held in Prospect Park since 1972\, and the second ever Lenape Pow Wow in New York City\, this free\, two-day public event welcomes the original Indigenous Lenape peoples who were forced to relocate across the continent back to their ancestral homelands to reunite and share their cultures with Brooklynites today. Join the weekend of family friendly fun\, culture\, art and learning with Indigenous dancers\, drummers\, and artisan craft and food vendors. \nPow Wows are gatherings where Lenape/Lunáapeew and neighboring Indigenous nations socialize and celebrate life. Prospect Park hosted formal Pow Wows from 1916 to 1972. Reviving this tradition in Prospect Park provides the Lenape/Lunáapeew an opportunity to celebrate their culture in their homelands and offers Brooklynites of all backgrounds the chance to enjoy the drumming\, dancing\, singing\, art\, crafts and foods of the original stewards of this land. \nLenape grandfather George Stonefish organized the First United Lenape/Lunáapeew Nations Pow Wow at the Park Avenue Armory in 2018. In 2024\, Prospect Park Alliance held a culture fair with the American Indian House and EL Collective as a precursor to the Pow Wow. Prospect Park Alliance is honored to help continue this important tradition by hosting Lenape and allied Indigenous artists and creators\, dancers and drummers\, and artisan craft and food vendors in Prospect Park for a weekend of family-friendly culture\, learning and fun. \nLunáapeew/Lenape means human beings or\, more specifically\, “the ones who came from thought\,” and is the name of the indigenous peoples whose ancestral homelands encompassed what is today Brooklyn and the surrounding region. Éenda-Lŭnaapeewáhkiing\, “the land of the Lunáapeew\,” holds the stories of a civilization rich with a deep understanding of the delicate balance and mutual relationships necessary to nurture and sustain a healthy world. \nThe Pow Wow is part of the Alliance’s ReImagine Lefferts initiative\, which is transforming the Lefferts Historic House museum to explore the lives\, resistance and resilience of the Indigenous people of Lenapehoking\, whose unceded ancestral lands the park and house rests upon\, and Africans who were enslaved by the Lefferts family.
