Before European colonization, varieties of Lenape were spoken for thousands of years in the New York City metropolitan area. Today, after centuries of genocide, dispersal, and diaspora, Lenape speakers, teachers, archivists and activists keep the language alive. • Brooklyn, USA is produced by Emily Boghossian, Shirin Barghi, Charlie Hoxie, Khyriel Palmer, and Mayumi Sato.
