At a point in time when we all need true leadership grounded in respect, generosity and peace…we offer a unique, light-filled space inspired by the Indian Chief who symbolizes peace – Chief Tamanend – the 17th century Chief of the Turtle Clan of the Lenni-Lenape Indian tribe – who oversaw the peace treaty between European settlers and Native American Indians in 1628 – and is called “the Affable” and is known as the Patron Saint of America.
The story of Chief Tamenend renowned for his honor, welcoming spirit and generosity was the inspiration for Tammany Hall – the 1788 political society originally founded to give immigrants a political voice.
