The Lenape Nation of Pennsylvania (LNPA) has struggled for over 30 years, attempting to garner recognition as the remaining indigenous people of Pennsylvania. They have sent delegations and representatives to stand before various committees seeking recognition, beginning in the 1990’s and continuing as recently as May 1, 2023, when they held a rally on the Capitol steps in honor of Tamanend Day. A petition at Change.org calls on Pennsylvania state legislators to grant the LNPA official recognition. Add your name to the petition today!
