Lecture “Native Americans in Rye”

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.
