SUMMARY:"Continuous Fight For Recognition on Lenape Homelands" by Ty "Dancing Wolf" Ellis
DESCRIPTION:Ty “Dancing Wolf” Ellis \nJanuary 14\, 2024\, at 2:00 PM \n“Continuous Fight for Recognition on Lenape Homelands” \nLenapehoking(k); the land of the Lenape\, and the land of our ancestors. The lands that many Lenape people were forcibly displaced from\, while others attempted to hide in plain sight for over a century before finally being allowed to claim their culture and heritage as Indigenous People publicly. This basic human right was something not afforded to Native People on the East Coast until just a short 45 years ago \nThis discussion will go on to speak about the history of Lenape people on these lands (and touch on those that were removed) starting with the Trail of Tears\, to the American Indian Religious Freedom Act of 1978\, to reformation of our community\, to the constant struggles of each decade after. \nTy “Dancing Wolf” Ellis is a citizen of the Nanticoke Lenni-Lenape Tribe; one of three state recognized tribes within New Jersey\, and a Sovereign Nation. He has had many responsibilities within his Tribal Community\, being a part of or in charge of most all existing committees within the tribe at some point within his 33 years in the physical world. He has facilitated many lectures and has been extensively taught the ways of his people by Chief Mark “Quiet Hawk” Gould\, Chief Lewis “Grey Squirrel” Pierce\, and reigning Chief Urie “Fox Sparrow” Ridgeway through his life\, and still to this day. \nThis event takes place at our museum at 26 Hadley Avenue in Toms River. Our speaker series is always free; but donations are greatly appreciated. SEATING IS LIMITED!

This presentation will provide an overview of the Battle of Monmouth\, placing it in context within the wider war\, and will conclude with a discussion of the latest research being done by the current custodians of the battlefield’s historic legacy. \nVictor Pidermann is one of the historic interpreters at Monmouth Battlefield State Park in Manalapan\, NJ and has been researching and interpreting the Battle of Monmouth for nine years. He has an MA in History from Monmouth University (2014) and a BA in History from Florida State University (2007). Mr. Pidermann has worked occasionally as an Adjunct Professor of History at Monmouth University and has also co-authored academic articles on topics ranging from Revolutionary War-era artillery to historic maps of the Battle of Monmouth. \n  \n
