What would America look like if the promises made 250 years ago had been kept? 🍁 📜 During the Revolutionary War, The Continental Congress sought an alliance with the Delaware Tribe, also known as the Lenape, and pledged to consider inviting the Delaware to gather tribes to become a 14th state.

Join The Lenape Center's Joe Baker and Hadrien Coumans, and Pace University Law Professor Nicholas A. Robinson for a conversation about this history and its impact on the present.
