September 2024: Lenape Games
Weekends in September offer families the opportunity to come aboard the tall ship Wavertree for a journey into the Greater New York region’s rich past through fun, interactive games! Discover the traditions of the area’s Indigenous people and play the same games that were enjoyed here long before the city we know today.
Family-friendly activities include Selahtinalìtin (sˈɛlɑːtˌɪnɐlˌɪtɪn): a scattering straws game similar to Pick Up Sticks or Jackstraws, and Mamantuhwin (mˈæmɐntˌuːwɪn): a dice-and-bowl game possibly named after the whirligig beetle. Experience the excitement of these traditional games and connect with the history of Lenapehoking, the land and water now known as South Street Seaport.
Come aboard, learn, and play! This family activity is not intended for children younger than 3.
