Conversational Lenape Language

Instructed by Teri Hislop

Fridays during the month of May at the Lower Cape branch.

All events are tentatively scheduled and may change. Please refer to the CMCL Online Events Calendar, the CMCL website, or follow us on social media for any and all updates.

Join us for a 4-week course on conversational Lenape language! Learn to carry on a simple conversation in the Lenape language, as it was spoken on the East Coast before colonization. By the end of the 4 week introductory course, you will know:

• Some basic greetings
• Please and thank you
• How are you doing? I am...
• What is your name? My name is...
• Who/what is it? Animals and things
• Are you hungry? Foods
• What color is it? Basic colors

By the end of the class, you will have joined the growing ranks of practical Lenape speakers and contributed to the revitalization of a nearly lost language.

Teri Hislop is a member of the Lenape Nation of Pennsylvania. She is part of the current project to revitalize the Lenape Language (Unami dialect). She is a Native Storyteller, flutist, beadworkers and pine needle basket maker.

Please note: A class series requires patrons to attend each session. If you are absent for the first class, you will be replaced with the next participant on the wait list.
