The American Indian Heritage of Manhattan Island: From Wampum to Wall Street
Discover the American Indian heritage of Manhattan Island as we visit the sites of American Indian villages and discuss their interaction with the Dutch and English settlers. Did the Dutch really buy Manhattan Island for $64 from the Indians? How did the American Indians contribute to the success of the Dutch in New York? We will trace the beginning of the wild frontier at Wall Street. Learn the true meaning of Manhattan, "Island of Hills," in the Algonquin Indian language.
