Fulbright: Canoe Tour of the Bronx River & Indigenous History Talk

As the weather gets warmer and the days get longer, there's nothing quite like spending some time in the great outdoors! New York is home to many beautiful natural spaces with rich histories, and the Bronx River is no exception.

 

Did you know that the Bronx River area used to be called Lenape Hoking, and was home to several thousand Lenape villagers? They didn't view themselves as owning the land, rather they were stewards of the land that protected the resources around them, always considering how their actions impact the ecosystem and its future.

 

We invite you to join us on a canoe tour of the Bronx River, led by the Bronx River Alliance, where you will paddle through lush natural landscapes while learning about the people of the Eastern Woodlands, their way of life, and the way in which the environment has been impacted over the years. Experience the Bronx like never before!

 

After the tour, we will have lunch as a group at a restaurant near the river!
