The Rising Nation River Journey is about collaborating with conscientious community organizations and individuals to work toward common goals of Lenapehonkink Indigenous Awareness and Environmental Stewardship.
Along the Journey, the Lenape People will hold special events commemorating the 2002 signing of the Treaty of Renewed Friendship by the Lenape and a number of organizations and committed individuals who wish to actively support Lenape culture and to act as good stewards of their sacred Delaware River and homelands.
In order to commemorate and promulgate the treaty, the 2002 signing was coupled with an equally historic three-week canoe journey, which began at the top of the Delaware River in Hancock, N.Y. and culminated in Cape May, NJ.
Donations are welcome to support the Journey.
Visit the Rising Nation River Journey webpage for a full itinerary of the Journey and details about the events along the way.

The LNPA is dedicated to increasing awareness of Lenape history and presence, revitalizing and educating about Lenape culture, and stewarding our indigenous homelands of eastern PA, southern NY, NJ, and northern DE, with special attention to the Lenape Sipu (Delaware River) and watershed.
Stewardship of the Delaware River and Watershed has been central to Lenape culture since time immemorial.
We encourage partnerships among people and organizations to foster cultural, historical, and environmental education and preservation. The RNRJ is particularly dedicated to fostering and preserving these relationships.
For decades, the LNPA has partnered with environmental organizations who support this endeavor.
