Mission Statement
The mission of Native American Heritage Programs is to present, preserve, and perpetuate the history and cultural heritage of the Lenni Lenape, or Delaware Indians (who originally lived in eastern Pennsylvania, southern upper New York State, western New Jersey, and parts of Maryland and Delaware), and that of other Native American groups. The organization accomplishes that mission through cultural heritage programs, workshops, and educational exhibits for children and adults of all abilities.
