Historic Huguenot Street is pleased to present another 5-week virtual Lunaape language workshop, via Zoom and hosted by Lunaape language teacher Karen Mosko. The Lunaape language was spoken by the Indigenous people of the same name of the Northeastern Woodlands, who lived/live in Canada and the United States. Their historical territory included present-day New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania along the Delaware watershed, New York City, western Long Island, and the Hudson Valley, including New Paltz.

This is a beginner level course meant for individuals who have not yet participated in any similar workshops or for those interested in brushing up on the basics. Over the course of 5 weeks, Lunaape Language students will learn a Lunaape prayer, the alphabet system (vowels), a personal introduction, how to carry conversations, “today's date is…”, numbers 1-31, medicine wheel teachings, and all about the Grass and Geese Moon (April).

Our teacher, Karen Mosko is from Nalahii (Munsee-Delaware Nation), Ontario, Canada. She has been learning Lunaape since 2004 and teaching predominantly unfunded Lunaape language classes in various locations since 2005. Her goal is to revitalize what the government considers a dead language.

Although we encourage you to sign up the entire 5-week workshop, participating in all 5 classes is not a requirement. You can register for the first class, the first and the second class, the first, second, and last class, or whatever you feel comfortable doing! The more classes you sign up for, the more money you will save.

Four classes = $17
Five classes = $20
