South Brunswick Library Hosts Native American Music, Dance Performance

SOUTH BRUNSWICK, NJ — Residents can learn about New Jersey’s first people this weekend through music and dance at the South Brunswick Public Library.

“Strength of Song and Dance: Music and Dance of the Lenni-Lenape” is from 2 to 4 p.m. on Sunday, in the library’s Friends Theatre. The program looks at the past, present and future of the Nanticoke Lenni-Lenape, New Jersey’s native people, through performance.

The program is part of the library’s “250 Years of American Music” series. It is funded by the Middlesex County Board of County Commissioners through the Middlesex County Cultural and Arts Trust Fund, with support from the Friends of the South Brunswick Public Library.

The event is geared toward adults. Registration is required, and seats are limited. As of Thursday, 91 seats remained.
