Lenape Manhattan (Mannahatta)
Long before New York City, Mannahatta was home to Lenape communities connected through villages, waterways, trails, planting fields, and gathering places. Indigenous place names reveal a deeper understanding of the landscape, reflecting relationships with the land, its natural resources, and the generations who have called it home.
This illustrated map by Dakota artist Marlena Myles highlights Indigenous place names across Manhattan and its surrounding areas, inviting viewers to see beyond colonial names and recognize the history and continuing presence of the Lenape people.
For a more detailed and interactive exploration of Indigenous homelands in the NYC area, visit Native Long Island, an educational resource featuring Indigenous place names, history, and cultural knowledge.
