We are excited to announce Chief Vincent Mann will deliver the keynote address on Friday, March 27th, 2020.

Mann is the Turtle Clan Chief of the Ramapough Lunaape Nation, a group of approximately 5,00 people living around the Ramapo Mountains of Bergen and Passaic counties in northern New Jersey and Rockland County in southern New York, about 25 miles from New York City. Their tribal office is located on Stag Hill Road on Houvenkopf Mountain in Mahwah, New Jersey. The Lenape language in this area was Munsee, an Algonquian dialect. The Ramapough, under the leadership of Chief Mann, are working to restore the Munsee language among their members
