All Of It - A podcast by WNYC

Categories:

A new collection of Lenape folklore contains some stories published together in a book for the first time. Camilla Townsend, a professor of history at Rutgers, and Nicky Kay Michael, Interim President of Bacone College in Muskogee, Oklahoma, and a member of the Delaware tribe, join us to discuss their work on the collection, On the Turtle's Back: Stories the Lenape Told Their Grandchildren. Townsend will be speaking on Indigenous People's Day at the National Museum of the American Indian, for NYC's Indigenous People's Day Open House.
