Northern Manhattan Community Land Trust: Indigenous Walking Tour of Inwood Hill Park

We invite you to one of our favorite recurring events: an Indigenous Walking Tour of Inwood with Luis Sanakori Ramos, a longtime resident of Inwood who is of Taino ancestry, and has done extensive research on Lenape sites and history in Inwood.  On this tour, Luis will shed light on important and sacred sites to the indigenous Lenape people whose land the European colonizers stole in the 1600s. Learning about these sites and their historical importance helps us renew our own relationship to this land, and we hold space for participants’ questions and reflections along the tour.
