Sunday, April 3 – Bergen County
Lenape New Year • Chwame gischuch -- 1:00 to 4:00 pm. The Bergen County Historical Society celebrates the Algonquian New Year, Chwame gischuch Bob Wills, of the Sunrise Trading Post, will share his knowledge of Lenape foods, herbs and customs, showing and selling traditional trade items representative of the Contact Period. Reproduction items for sale include real quahog shell wampum, hair pipes (which Dutch traders made from cattle bones), medicine bags, clay pipes, tomahawks, thimbles, mirrors, cloth, deerskin, knives, gorgets, and books. A special exhibit of rare native artifacts from the collections of the Bergen County Historical Society, including pottery, stone and bone tools, found throughout Bergen County over the past several centuries, will be displayed, along with Hungarian sculptor John Ettl’s famous 1921 bronze bust of Oratam, Sachem of the Hackensacks.
At 2:30 pm, historian and author Kevin Wright will speak on "Hearts of Stone: Ethnic Cleansing at Pavonia, 1643," at the Steuben House.
The first Dark Moon after the Long Moon marks the arrival of Chwame gischuch, the Shad Moon, and the New Year of the ancient Sanhicans and Minisinks, locally known as the Hackensacks and Tappans. Native peoples returned from their winter villages, gathering at the narrows of the great streams, in places such as Acquackanonck (Garfield) and Aschatking (New Bridge), to set their fykes and weirs and catch smelt and later shad as these fish ran up the rivers in great numbers.
