From the Pike County Courier: Lenape Tribes Visit Their Homeland in Pike County to Launch Permanent Exhibit
From Pike County Courier:
By Linda Fields
“Our ancestors are still here, their footsteps are still here, their voices are still here, and I want to thank you for being here for us and for them.”
During a reception to mark the opening of a new permanent exhibit at the Pike County Historical Society, Larry Heady of the Delaware Tribe of Indians, based in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, addressed local residents gathered on the steps of the Columns Museum on the evening of Oct. 6.
The exhibit, “The Lënape, Original People Reconciling The Past, Embracing The Future,” tells the story of the Indians native to our region and the diaspora that took them far from their homelands in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. It includes the obelisk for Tom Quick that once stood in Milford Borough and explains the story and controversy behind it.
