The Tribe and the River with Turtle to Turtle

The HRM sits on traditional lands of the Leni Lenape, the First Peoples to inhabit the lower Hudson Valley, who made use of the valley’s vast natural resources and network of waterways. Watch a performance by Turtle to Turtle, members of the Ramapough Lenape Nation, and learn about their history and relationship to the Hudson River through stories, artifacts, music, and drumming. Join in to learn the dances and songs that reflect their connection to nature, the earth, and the river.
