Description: Long before the Dutch settlers arrived, the Lenape Indians hunted and fished on an island that they called Mannahatta. Though New York City has changed dramatically since then, evidence of the Lenape can be found in the names that we still use today, such as the familiar island, Manhattan. With rich, color images, primary source illustrations, and authentic text, this book explores the history of Native Americans in early New York and their legacy in today's urban community. Supports New York City's Grade 2 social studies standard for Unit 2: New York City Over Time 1.1, 1.2, 1.3a, 1.4.
