Have you ever wondered about the true origins of Turtle Island and the Lenape people? Join Ron Brown LMT and Mikey Fever as we engage in a profound conversation with Brother Norris from Turtle Gang to uncover the cultural and historical significance of the Lenape tribe. Norris elucidates the meaning behind "Lenape" and demystifies Turtle Island, not as a geographical place but as an integral creation myth. We journey through the expansive territories once inhabited by the Lenape, stretching from the Great Lakes to North Carolina, and delve into their rich mythology and historical presence.

Understanding human phenotypes and ethnicity isn't just about appearances—it's about adaptation and survival. This episode explores how the isolation of human populations in different environments shaped not only physical traits like skin pigmentation but also characteristics like bone density and lung capacity. We challenge common misconceptions, such as equating skin color with ethnicity, and discuss the original identities of tribes, emphasizing the importance of accurate historical and linguistic interpretations. Furthermore, we delve into the complexities surrounding the historical identities of the Moors and Lenape, unraveling the implications of treaties and names from both indigenous and European perspectives.

The fascinating history of the Delaware Moors, a tri-racial community with Moorish, African, and Native American ancestry, offers a unique glimpse into the cultural crossroads of early America. We explore their migration, identity adaptation, and the pivotal role of the Sandhill Band Lenape in helping them reclaim their tribal identity. With insights from historian Reverend John Norwood, we also touch upon their connections to the Melungeons and the importance of indigenous place names. By amplifying indigenous voices, especially the Lenape, we aim to preserve and share their rich heritage. Tune in for a captivating exploration of history, culture, and identity, and support our mission to keep these critical conversations alive.
