A historic Lenape tradition is returning to Prospect Park this weekend after decades away.

On Sept. 13 and 14, the park will host the United Lenape/Lunáapeew Nations Pow Wow , its first intertribal gathering since 1972 and the second-ever Lenape Pow Wow in New York City.

The weekend welcomes indigenous Lenape communities back to their ancestral homeland and celebrates Lenape culture and heritage with dancing and music, food, art and artisan crafts.

“Reviving the Pow Wow tradition in Prospect Park provides the Lenape/Lunáapeew who were forced to relocate across the continent back to their ancestral homelands to reunite and celebrate, and offers Brooklynites of all backgrounds the chance to immerse themselves in the cultures of the original stewards of this land,” said Morgan Monaco
