“Chicken Soup for the Native American Soul”

Pennsylvania State Vice Chairman of the American Indian Committee & Towamencin DAR Registrar Sue Johnston presented a fascinating program on Native American culture with emphasis on the diet of Lenni Lenape Indians during the Revolutionary War Era. A sampling of the types of food the Lenni Lenape tribe ate during that time was offered to the membership. A variety of period cookware made of dried gourds, wood and shells as well as tools made of wood and bone were discussed.
