ABOUT THE EVENT:
Founded by three Indigenous women, this year will be the 9th pan-Indigenous celebration that combines contemporary and traditional arts, cultures, storytellings, histories, and foods to increase awareness of the First Peoples of the Americas from the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

ABOUT THE LOCATION & THE LENAPE (DELAWARE):
SHACKAMAXON, colonially known as Penn Treaty Park, is a historic treasure located along the banks of the Delaware River in Philadelphia. This remarkable park features an eighth-generation tree, a direct descendant of the iconic Treaty Elm, where the Lenape (Delaware) people from Lenapehoking held important council meetings. It was on this very ground that the legendary leader TAMANEND (also known as Tammany) signed the historic 1682 Treaty of Shackamaxon with the Englishman William Penn.
The significance of this site, rich in Indigenous history and cultural heritage, offers a powerful insight to the tragic legacy of the collaboration between the Lenape (Delaware) Tribes and early English settlers, whose descendants would ultimately forcefully remove the Lenape from their homelands to Indian territory in Oklahoma and Wisconsin in the United States, and Ontario, Canada.
This painful journey spanned many years and led to the scattering of countless Lenape people and families across the country. Today, there are five federally recognized Lenape (Delaware) Tribes in the United States and Canada that assert their presence and heritage: the Delaware Nation in Anadarko, Oklahoma; the Delaware Tribe of Indians in Bartlesville, Oklahoma; the Stockbridge-Munsee Community in Bowler, Wisconsin; the Munsee-Delaware Nation; and the Delaware Nation at Moraviantown in Ontario, Canada. Furthermore, there are also Lenape members of the Six Nations Reserve in Ontario, alongside the people of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, who continue to uphold their rich cultural identity.
