Building 110: LMCC's Arts Center at Governors Island reopens to the public this weekend, May 26-27, for the 2012 season!

Access Restricted: Lower Manhattan Revealed - The Lenape: Lower Manhattan’s First Inhabitants

Combining archaeological and historical evidence with decades of firsthand ethnographic and linguistic research, this lecture covers the culture, prehistory, and history of the Lenape (Delaware Indians) in this region as well as their subsequent displacement and emigration to enclaves in Oklahoma, Ontario, and Wisconsin in the 18th and 19th centuries. Pershing Hall, one of the many historic buildings on Governors Island, features WPA murals depicting American military history.
