The Third United Lenape / Lunáapeew Nations Pow Wow

Family friendly fun, culture, art + learning with Indigenous dancers, drummers, craft + food vendors on October 3 + 4.

Join Prospect Park Alliance, the nonprofit that sustains Prospect Park in partnership with the city, Éenda-Lŭnaapeewáhkiing Collective, which brings together Lunáapeew/Lenape communities who have been displaced across Turtle Island (North America), and American Indian Community House, which promotes the well-being and visibility of the American Indian community, for the Third United Lenape/Lunáapeew Nations Pow Wow at the LeFrak Center at Lakeside in Prospect Park.

Vendors will be open starting at 10 am and the Grand Entry will kick off the celebrations at 11 am each day.

Please note that eventbrite RSVP is encouraged but not required.

The first Pow Wow held in Prospect Park since 1972, and the third ever Lenape Pow Wow in New York City, this free, two-day public event welcomes the original Indigenous Lenape peoples who were forced to relocate across the continent back to their ancestral homelands to reunite and share their cultures with Brooklynites today. Join the weekend of family friendly fun, culture, art and learning with Indigenous dancers, drummers, and artisan craft and food vendors.

The Pow Wow is part of the Alliance’s ReImagine Lefferts initiative, which is transforming the Lefferts Historic House museum to explore the lives, resistance and resilience of the Indigenous people of Lenapehoking, whose unceded ancestral lands the park and house rests upon, and Africans who were enslaved by the Lefferts family.

To explore more Lenape heritage and culture, we encourage you to visit the Halumii Ktapihna: Lenape Legacies and Futures exhibit at the Museum of the City of New York, beginning September 25.
