Indigenous Walking Tour of Inwood Hill Park
On Sunday Nov. 23th at 1pm, we invite you to one of our favorite recurring events: an Indigenous Walking Tour of Inwood with Luis Sanakori Ramos, a longtime resident of Inwood who is of Taino ancestry, and has done extensive research on Lenape sites and history in Inwood. We’ll meet at Emerson Playground, 207th and Seaman. ($10 suggested donation).
On this tour, Luis will shed light on important and sacred sites to the indigenous Lenape people whose land the European colonizers stole in the 1600s. Learning about these sites and their historical importance helps us renew our own relationship to this land, and we hold space for participants' questions and reflections along the tour. You can register in advance here.

Day of the Dead Espiritu Caribeño
While the Caribbean traditions of the Day of the Dead are not as globally known as those of Mexico and Central America, the cultural practices exercised during what caribeños call El Dia de los Fieles y Santos Difuntos constitutes a unique and commemorative tradition deeply rooted in a rich history of spirituality and syncretism.
On Friday, November 1, cultural activist and educator Jonathan de Oleo Ramos will open a portal—a space where past and present meet, and the connection between the living and the dead is honored. Drawing on his extensive writings and deep involvement in traditional celebrations, Jonathan will explore the significance of the Day of the Dead in Kiskeya and Ayiti. He will be joined in conversation by artist and political activist Vannia Lara.
Día de los Muertos
Celebrate life, love, and remembrance with us on Sunday, October 27th at the Ring Garden in Inwood, at the corner of Riverside, Dykeman and Seaman. Enjoy some music, delicious food, beautiful altars honoring our loved ones, and the showcasing of the movie Coco. Bring your family and friends to experience this rich cultural tradition together!
