This interesting lecture came across my desk.
The Mahwah Museum will hold its February History Lecture The People of
Slanting Rock on Thursday, February 10, 2011, at the Ramapo Reformed
Church Education Building 100 Island Road, Mahwah at 7:30 PM.
Slanting Rock is "Ramapo/Ramapough". Through photos and artifacts,
Autumn Wind Scott will relate the story of New Jersey’s aboriginal
people, then and now. Ms. Scott, Chair of the New Jersey State
Commission on American Indian Affairs, is a member of the Ramapough
Lenape Nation. She has served her community officially, since 1999 as
Commissioner to the New Jersey State Commission on American Indian
Affairs. Appointed in early 2007, by Governor Corzine to serve on his
committee on Native American Community Affairs, Ms. Scott has been an
activist for American Indian rights for over 20 years. Additionally, she
is a lecturer and public speaker, addressing colleges, high schools,
elementary schools, and museums throughout the tri-state area. As a
Producer and Coordinator of American Indian events, she has aided in
educating the greater public through bringing Native Events to their
communities. As a result of Autumn Wind’s commitment to Native People,
she gave the opening remarks at the United Nations, for the World
Indigenous People’s Summit in 2002.
Admission is $3 per person; free for Mahwah Museum members and
refreshments will be served. Reservations are recommended and can be
