A NOTE FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR “Any large-scale human cooperation—whether a modern state, a medieval church, an ancient city or an archaic tribe—is rooted in common myths that exist only in people’s collective imagination.” —YUVAL NOAH HARARI, SAPIENS Welcome to Manahatta! I am delighted you are here today to experience this intricate and soulful new play written by Mary Kathryn Nagle, an enrolled citizen of the Cherokee Nation and the first Native playwright to have her work produced at Yale Rep, and directed by Laurie Woolery, whose other credits at our theater in recent seasons include El Huracán and Imogen Says Nothing. In Manahatta, Mary Kathryn uproots long-standing myths surrounding the colonization of the lands now known as the United States of America and lays bare a history of policy and practice aimed at the eradication of Native culture. Set in 17th-century Manahatta and contemporary Manhattan, as well as Anadarko, Oklahoma, the play flows between time periods, connecting us to our ancestors and their continued presence in our lives today. Manahatta illuminates a wide range—though certainly not all—of the tragic consequences of commercial exploitation giving rise to the “America” we think we know today. It is a unique privilege to present a play that holds a mirror up to darker parts of our history that have been scrubbed so as to perpetuate an American mythology of virtuous progress and divinely inspired exceptionalism. Moreover, our Yale Rep community is enriched by the presence and sensibility of the many Native artists who working on this production. Histories of violence against Native peoples, and of their endurance over the past four centuries, co-exist in our collective imagination: Manahatta is a gift enabling us to interrogate our own versions of the past and present, as well as the future. I am deeply grateful to the entire company for their generous commitment of time and talent to this project. Thank you for joining us and supporting these distinguished artists. As always, I look forward to hearing your thoughts about the play, or any of your experiences at Yale Rep: my email address is james.bundy@yale.edu. Our season continues with Lorraine Hansberry’s stirring American drama, A Raisin in the Sun, directed by Carl Cofield, who staged last season’s joyous production of Twelfth Night, beginning March 13 and continuing through April 4. Ours will be the first professional production of this galvanizing play in New Haven in more than 30 years: please don’t miss it! I look forward to welcoming you back soon. Sincerely,
James Bundy Artistic Director

“Manahatta is the blueprint for the entir been erased, but whose language gives that land, it is the simultaneous existenc —MARY KATHRYN NAGLE, PLAYWRIGHT, LAWYER, ACTIVIST, AND
THEY ARE FORCIN From The Last of the Mohicans to modern textbooks, Manifest Destiny to “a nation of immigrants,” America has engaged in the systematic erasure of Native peoples to build its national identity. Native stories, culture, language, religion, and homes have been stolen in an effort to conceal and expunge the atrocities this nation has committed against Native American peoples. Leaving Home The original homeland of the Delaware Lenape, known as Lenapehoking, included what is now New Jersey, eastern Pennsylvania, northern Delaware, and southeastern New York. This land was likely occupied by the Lenape for thousands of years before the Dutch, English, and Swedish colonizers arrived and forced the Lenape westward. The forced removal path of the Lenape, now consisting of both the Delaware Nation (Anadarko, Oklahoma) and the Delaware Tribe (Bartlesville, Oklahoma) was a long and winding one, marked at each move by violence and destruction committed by colonizers whose westward expansion butted up against the Delaware again and again. What was once a geographically united nation splintered into many groups, settling in Canada, Wisconsin, and Anadarko and Bartlesville, Oklahoma. The Snake family in Manahatta descend directly from those who were forced along the longest path, relocating from Manahatta to what is now western Pennsylvania, to Ohio, to Missouri, to Texas, and finally in 1867, to Anadarko, Oklahoma. Every one of these moves was a forced relocation, a consequence of America-sanctioned rape, theft, murder, and persecution.
“Unlike some of the tribes in the Southeast, who had a trail of tears, I guess you could say the Lenape had trails of tears because they were moved time and time again. And each time they were moved they were told, ‘This is your home from now on.’ And somehow the words got left out: ‘Or until we want it back.’” —JIM REMENTER, TRIBAL LINGUIST, DELAWARE TRIBE OF INDIANS 9
e nation. A Tribal Nation whose story has rise to the name Americans use today for e of erasure and perseverance.” MEMBER OF THE CHEROKEE NATION
NG US TO LEAVE Losing Language In 1600, the Lenape language was spoken by thousands of people. This language was divided into two dialects: Unami and Munsee. In addition to the spoken language, the Lenape would have used Hand Speak, an intricate form of sign language used to communicate with individuals from various Tribal Nations across Turtle Island, the area now known as the Americas. As the Delaware were scattered, and as forced assimilation occurred at Indian residential schools and through unethical adoptions into non-Indian families, the Lenape language became endangered. By the 1970s, only a handful of fluent speakers remained. Today, all of those who grew up speaking Lenape have passed away. But thankfully, before these speakers died, they began to teach others. The tireless work of linguists, teachers, and elders has allowed the Lenape language to continue in songs, language programs, and in online resources. The Lenape Talking Dictionary (talk-lenape.org), a website created by the Lenape Language Council and spearheaded by Jim Rementer, is a collection of recordings of Lenape words by Lenape Elders, notably Lucy Parks Blalock (1906–2000) and Nora Thompson Dean (1907–1984). Tools like this have enabled the Delaware Tribe not only to preserve Lenape but pass it to future generations.

WE’RE STILL H Today there are 6.79 million Native peoples living in the United States. These people belong to 573 federally recognized Tribal Nations. They live in every state of the U.S., with only 22% living on reservations (since, as Jane Snake notes in the play, throughout its history, the United States has eliminated or taken the majority of the reservations it was bound through treaties to create). Despite the systematic attempts to erase, assimilate, and kill them, both the Delaware Nation and Delaware Tribe live on, and the Lenape persevere.

Returning to Lenapehoking Although the Lenape were driven out of their homeland, many have begun to return. Joe Baker, an enrolled member of the Delaware Tribe of Indians (the Lenape residing in Bartlesville, Oklahoma) and the Lenape cultural consultant on this production, founded the Lenape Center in Manhattan with Hadrian Coumans and Curtis Zunigha in 2008. As Baker puts it, the Lenape Center is “inspired by the
“The future of Native art-mak taking a drink of water.” —TY DEF

ERE visionary Tribal Elder Nora Thompson Dean, who began a series of return trips to the Lenape homeland in the 1970s from Oklahoma. She sought to reconnect our people to the richness of the original homeland. We continue her work today.” The Center does not currently have a building of its own, but when asked where it is located, Baker and Coumans say, “all of Manahatta.” The Lenape are coming back, and this act of reclaiming their stolen land is a radical one. Native Art Lives On To Native people, art has always been a vessel of spirituality and a tool for survival. In this production of Manahatta, Native art is prominently featured. In addition to the play, written by Mary Kathryn Nagle, there is movement direction by Ty Defoe, textiles printed from Joe Baker’s paintings, copper jewelry made by Aquinnah Wampanoag artist Jonathan Perry, and wampum jewelry created by Aquinnah Wampanoag artist Elizabeth James-Perry. These pieces resist the stereotypes about Native American aesthetics that many of us have been raised with and push back against the practice of exploiting Native artists and appropriating Native art. Wampum, in particular, serves a crucial role in Manahatta. These purple and white beads made from the shells of channeled whelk and quahog—clams that were key parts of the Lenape diet—are a sacred part of many eastern Tribal Nations’ cultures. They serve as symbols of friendship, peace between Nations, and as a connection to ancestors in religious ceremonies. Today Wampum persists as a way to, as Elizabeth James-Perry puts it, “acknowledge connections—to the ocean, to Turtle Island, to each other.” These traditional art making practices have persevered for thousands of years, evolving and shifting in response to changing fashion, new technologies, and the influences of colonizing forces, while still finding their way into the present and future of Native life. As Ty Defoe describes, “Making art is a tool to create social, political, and cultural transformation. It is an expression of my self and how I build relationships with the world and the people around me, while keeping nature’s deepest mysteries at the forefront, for the environment, too, is our relative.”

PAST, PRESENT, AND In Manahatta, Mary Kathryn Nagle creates a world in which the boundaries of time blur, bend, and break. The memories of past traumas and triumphs live within the characters who are simultaneously themselves and their ancestors. This weaving of periods is both a wonderfully theatrical device and a representation of Native ideas of time onstage—a cyclical concept that challenges any insistence on linear narratives. In this production of Manahatta, design and dramatic structure serve this representation of cyclical time. One way that Nagle depicts cyclical time is by honoring the figure of Se-ket-tu-may-qua, a Lenape figure from the 19th century whom she transplants through time to include in her story. Se-ket-tu-may-qua is one of many renowned Lenape figures who have contributed to the perseverance of the Delaware Nation and Delaware Tribe. Although there are too many to list in a program note, Tamanend, Se-ket-tu-may-qua, and Nora Thompson Dean are a good place to start.
Tamanend (1625–1701) Tamanend was not included as a character in the play, but he is a Lenape leader of significance and therefore deserves mention. Tamanend was a great leader of the Lenape people, sometimes known as the Chief of Chiefs, or Chief of the Turtle Clan. He lived in the Lenapehoking, on land that is now known as Pennsylvania. When William Penn and other British colonizers arrived in his land, Tamanend extended a hand of peace. In a 1694, he spoke before Philadelphia’s governing council, rejecting an Iroquois plan to attack the European colonizers. He said: “We and Christians of this river have always had a free roadway to one another, and though sometimes a tree has fallen across the road, yet we have still removed it again and kept the path clean, and we design to continue the old friendship that has been between us and you.” He then gave the council a Wampum belt, a gift that signified that he considered the Europeans to be family. The peace treaty that Tamanend made with William Penn lasted for over 70 years.
13
FUTURE Se-ket-tu-may-qua (1806–1880) At the request of one of his direct descendants, Nagle named one of her characters after this Delaware leader. Pictured on the back wall of the set, Se-ket-tu-may-qua, or in English, Black Beaver, was a legendary leader of the Lenape in the mid-19th century, when the Delaware Nation was removed from their reservation in Texas and placed where they are today in Anadarko, Oklahoma. As a young man, he became fluent in English, French, and Spanish, in addition to his native Lenape and about eight other American Indian languages. During the Civil War, Se-ket-tu-may-qua guided over 800 Union soldiers across 500 miles of open prairie; he did not lose a single man, horse, or wagon. Black Beaver later participated in the Medicine Lodge treaty negotiations of 1867 and acted as a moderator in inter-tribal councils throughout the 1870s.

Nora Thompson Dean (1907–1984) Like Tamanend, Nora Thompson Dean, a first-language Lenape speaker, is not a character in Manahatta, but her influence reverberates throughout the play. The astounding contributions of Nora Dean, or Weenjipahkihelexkwe, which translates as “Touching Leaves Woman,” to the future of the Delaware play a central role in the narrative of the Snake family. Dean was raised in the traditional ways of her people, and she dedicated herself to keeping these alive. Throughout her adult life, she taught about the Lenape religious ceremonies, social functions, dances, craftwork, herbal medicines, and language. In 1967 Dean founded a mail-order business through which she sold the traditional Lenape clothing and other items. Dean was a leader among the Delaware in her desire to reclaim her nation’s history and return to the Lenape homeland. It is she who, when asked by archeologist Herbert C. Kraft in 1984 for a word that might describe her ancestral homeland, coined the term Lenapehoking, which means “in the land of the Lenape.” To learn more about the Lenape, please visit: delawarenation.com and delawaretribe.org/tribalsite. —MC 14
Yale Rep acknowledges the importance of honoring and recognizing the sustained sovereignty of Native Nations and the continued survival of Native communities here in Connecticut and at Yale University. Though Manahatta tells a story of the Lenape, we realize this is just one of many Native stories of perseverance and survival. Below are organizations to which we would like to direct our audiences.
The Mashantucket Pequot Museum & Research Center (Mashantucket, CT)
The Mashantucket Pequot Museum & Research Center, part of the government of the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation, is a non-profit educational institution that seeks to further knowledge and understanding of the richness and diversity of the indigenous cultures and societies of the United States and Canada.
The Tantaquidgeon Museum (Uncasville, CT)
The Tantaquidgeon Museum was founded in 1931 by the Tantaquidgeon family to preserve Mohegan culture, artifacts, and history, and now stands as the oldest Native owned and operated museum in America with the Mohegan Tribe currently maintaining the collection and sponsoring special events.
The Native American community at Yale includes students, staff, and faculty from dozens of tribal nations, many of whom are active in several professional, student, and campus organizations. Student activism in the late 1980s laid the foundations for the contemporary campus community and launched the establishment of the Association of Native Americans at Yale (ANAAY) and the Native American Cultural Center (NACC). The extended NACC community works to raise awareness of Native concerns on campus; to support Native students, staff, and faculty; and to partner with Connecticut tribal nations upon whose ancestral homelands Yale was founded.
