For over 12,000 years Native Americans have lived in the Hudson Valley. The last of the aboriginal populations and cultures in the valley existed during what archaeologists and ethno-historians term the Contact period (A.D. 1550-1750), the time of the first large scale contact between Native Americans and European colonists. Just before European contact, Native Americans of the lower Hudson Valley, referred to as Munsee, migrated into southeastern New York and southwestern Connecticut. Their descendants were known collectively as the Lenape. Drawing on history and archaeology, this presentation by Hudson Valley archaeologist Eugene Boesch will provide some insight into the culture, history and lifeways of this group during this moment of dramatic social change.
