@cbsnews: For leaders of the Lenape Nation of Pennsylvania, the Delaware Water Gap isn’t just a vital waterway along the eastern Pennsylvania border, it’s a sacred place of spiritual and cultural significance “where you can really feel the ancestors.” “It’s where I do my prayer. It’s my church,” Clan Mother Shelley Windamakwi DePaul told CBS News’ David Schechter. “…It’s my soul…The minute I get on here, I’m relaxed. I’m happy.” Stream the CBS Climate Watch documentary “An American River,” now, at CBSNews.com/americanriver. #lenape #lenapenation #native #nativetiktok #indigenous #pennsylvania #delawareriver #water #nature #environment #earthday
If they didn't run rt 80 right through it, it would feel more sacred to me

Lenape Sipu is a Holy Place, and the Forks of the Delaware is Most Holy. Aho!

And the towns all along it are continuing to build million sq ft warehouses up and down it, polluting and ruining the river landscape forever. Such a damn shame.

The— uh—the thing! :
It should be a proper National Park, its unique, close to cities, and already NPS. People will be able to continue recreating but it’s such a special place.

The gap is beautiful. I would be out there with my kayak even in a warm February and it does have a calming effect.

If the Mormon or Amish community can protect their lands with their religion, Indigenous people should be too without question
