Description: Embark on a voyage through time as we uncover the rich legacy of the Native Americans who once called Rye, NY their home. Guiding us through this engaging presentation and interactive Q&A session is Joie Cooney, a Rye resident and RHS Auxiliary Board Member.

Drawing upon a trove of resources, including artifacts from the Rye Historical Society's collection, insights from local historians, Lenape descendants, and eminent scholars, we will delve into 13,000 years of Native American history. Learn about the Rye's first residents - how they lived, the historical events that shaped them, what they left behind, and their survival as a people.
