The art of the first Native New Yorkers and their land fight
Original: Abducted, renamed, but still here – the art of the first Native New Yorkers and their fight for their land
The Guardian has published a feature on the art of the Lenape, the original Native inhabitants of the New York region, exploring how communities endured abduction, forced renaming and displacement while continuing to assert their connection to the land. The piece highlights contemporary Indigenous artists whose work preserves memory and supports ongoing struggles for recognition and land rights in New York.
Why now: Growing public interest in Indigenous history and land rights has renewed attention on Native communities' claims to the New York area.
