Part of a larger effort to interrogate histories of colonial dispossession and highlight Indigenous survivance in the Americas, Mapping Lenapehoking is the newest release from ATCG Books and Comics.
Illustrated by Sadekaronhes Esquivel and Dale Deforest with a story by Lee Francis 4, this vibrant story follows the Lenape diaspora and paints a stunning picture of dispossession and renewal.
By focusing on the colonial-era mapping of the Indigenous homelands known as Lenapehoking, we aim to deconstruct Eurocentric misrepresentations, reinscribe Lenape histories of place, and otherwise encourage more accurate understandings of Indigenous histories, here and elsewhere. Although this book offers a partially fictionalized version of regional history, it is inspired by, and includes references to, a number of well-documented statements, events and maps.
The book also features an incredible resource guide making it a welcome addition for educators and historians alike!
