"Lenape Lifeways"


Last Friday, October 23rd, Mr. John Kraft from "Lenape Lifeways" visited us to teach us about the Lenape Indians and the history of their way of life here in New Jersey. He showed us many interesting slides, as well as explained many details of their everyday life, such as what they ate, what they wore, etc. Mr. John also shared many of his own artifacts with us and we even got to try on some of the clothing! What was your favorite part of the Lenape assembly? I can't wait to hear what you all have to say!

  1. My favorite part of the assembly was being able to see what the Lenape women carry babies in. I thought Mr. John was great!

  2. My favorite part was when we found out how they make food and when we got to look at the table with all the stuff on it. I liked the bead present and the fur jackets. Colleen

    My favorite part of the assembly was when we looked at all of the different types of things they used a long long time ago. My favorite one was the games they played, I played with a few of them.

  10. My favorite part of the Lenape assembly was learning about their clothes. I liked this part because the dress had beads on it and the leather was smooth. It reminded me of an Indian dress that I saw in a book about Pocahontas, who I chose for my book report.

  15. My favorite part of the assembly was when we got to touch all of the weapons and tools. The thing that I liked most about the tools was they showed all the spearheads which were very sharp! I liked the assembly very much.
