Cohanzick Lenape Gourd Photos

Seeds of My Ancestors: A Journey Through Cohanzick Lenape Gourd Art" 
​
​As a citizen of the Nanticoke Lenape Nation, Cohanzick, New Jersey, I am deeply rooted in our ancient culture. My role in preserving our traditions is a duty and a passion. I have honed my skills in various traditional ancient art forms. I am committed to passing on this knowledge to future generations.

My gourd art series, "Seeds of My Ancestors," meditates on the symbiotic relationship between land, identity, and sustainability. Each piece in this collection begins with a seed, a symbol of life, continuity, and ancestral knowledge passed down through generations. The journey from seed to gourd reflects our deep connection to the land, a connection that nurtures and sustains us as we encourage and sustain it in return.

In creating these works, I honor the ancient traditions of the Cohanzick Lenape people, preserving and passing on this knowledge to ensure it thrives for the next seven generations. Each gourd, shaped by the land and my hands, embodies the wisdom and resilience of my ancestors. The various uses of each piece represent our collective identity, rooted in a shared history and cultural memory, yet open to interpretation by those who encounter it.

This series resonates with the themes of land, identity, and sustainability by emphasizing the interdependence between these elements. Our identity as Lenape is inseparable from the land that sustains us, and in creating these works, I hope to inspire a deeper understanding of the need for sustainable practices that honor both the earth and the traditions that have shaped us. Through this art, I seek to bridge the past and the present, ensuring that the wisdom of our ancestors continues to guide us toward a sustainable future.
