This location was their primary source of water, but was also a spot where they did most of their hunting and trapping as well. Additionally, the Hudson River served as a spot for the Tappans where they performed their some of their rituals including their healing, death, and burial rituals. ]]> 2020-06-22 16:36:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jstonge01_2/zhilgs3d7irdl04o/wish/636361871 jstonge01_2 https://padlet.com/jstonge01_2/zhilgs3d7irdl04o/wish/636487890 The Tappans, as well as the rest of the Lenape tribe, relied heavily on making the things they needed from the resources that were available around them. Soapstone was used for pipes because it is easy to carve and drill into. The Tappans used their pipes as a way of communicating with spirits of people or animals that have passed before them. ]]> 2020-06-22 18:28:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jstonge01_2/zhilgs3d7irdl04o/wish/636487890 jstonge01_2 https://padlet.com/jstonge01_2/zhilgs3d7irdl04o/wish/636492901 This image illustrates how South Nyack eventually became the first main shipping point in the area. Abraham Tallman's successors maintained a dock here that was turned into the shipping point. South Nyack became an easily accessible point for people, and was also a great spot for selling commodities like food that was hunted and trapped there. ]]> 2020-06-22 18:32:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jstonge01_2/zhilgs3d7irdl04o/wish/636492901 jstonge01_2 https://padlet.com/jstonge01_2/zhilgs3d7irdl04o/wish/636495681 The name change of this bridge is reflective of the Tappan tribe because the bridge was originally named to represent the history of the Tappan Native American sub-tribe of the Lenape. The Governor Malcolm Wilson Tappan Zee Bridge was the original name given to it in 1955 upon the construction of the original bridge. There was a petition that circulated online at the time because people felt the name change was at the expense of the original history: Tappan natives and the Dutch settlers. ]]> 2020-06-22 18:35:34 UTC https://padlet.com/jstonge01_2/zhilgs3d7irdl04o/wish/636495681 jstonge01_2 https://padlet.com/jstonge01_2/zhilgs3d7irdl04o/wish/638099345 The Lenape tribe, also known as the Leni Lenape, were originally from what is now the state of Delaware. Their ancestors date back over 10,000 years, and occupied land from Canada down along the Northeast. ]]> 2020-06-24 00:31:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jstonge01_2/zhilgs3d7irdl04o/wish/638099345
