Is the legend true that the Dutch bought Manhattan from the Lenape indigenous people in 1626? Not really, it says in a new exhibition on the indigenous past and present of New York at the National Museum of the American Indian. “It wasn’t a sale for the natives. They believed that the Dutch would continue to bring gifts in exchange for sharing the territory. ” In addition, the exhibition “Native New York”, which is now on permanent display in the museum in south Manhattan, is about the indigenous people of the Haudenosaunee, who were involved in the construction of many famous skyscrapers in New York, as well as the current one Lives of Indigenous People in New York State.
