Native American Matriarchal Culture - The Lenape
34 Circe Salon -- Make Matriarchy Great Again -- Disrupting History - A podcast by 34 Circe Salon, 34 Circe Media, Sean Marlon Newcombe, Dawn "Sam" Alden
The Lenape people are the original inhabitants of a region that stretched from southern New York State through New York City to the state of Delaware. (They are also known as "The Delaware Nation.") They were eventually displaced to Oklahoma by colonialist encroachment, but their cultural legacy is still powerful in both locations. One aspect of that culture that is rarely discussed is its matriarchal character. Jeremy Johnson, Cultural Education Director of the Delaware Tribe, joins us to tell us about this matriarchal heritage.Sean Marlon Newcombe and Dawn "Sam" Alden co-host.
