This Sunday Nov. 24th at 1pm, we invite you to one of our favorite recurring events: an Indigenous Walking Tour of Inwood with Luis Sanakori Ramos, a longtime resident of Inwood who is of Taino ancestry, and has done extensive research on Lenape sites and history in Inwood.  We’ll meet at  Emerson Playground, 207th and Seaman. ($10 suggested donation).

On this tour, Luis will shed light on important and sacred sites to the indigenous Lenape people whose land the European colonizers stole in the 1600s. Learning about these sites and their historical importance helps us renew our own relationship to this land, and we hold space for participants' questions and reflections along the tour. You can register in advance here.

The recent brush fires in Inwood Hill Park meant that we had to initially postpone the event, but with the much needed rain, we are indeed on for this Sunday! The brush fires and their connection to climate crisis is a reminder of the need to be in right relationship to the land.

If the forest in Inwood is not a space that you've previously been connected with, this is the perfect way in. If you’ve done this walk before, Luis is always doing more research, so this will be a fresh experience!
