On August 19, 2006, the second signing of the Treaty of Renewed Brotherhood between the Lenape Nation of Pennsylvania and people and organizations near the Delaware River took place at Pennsbury Manor, the estate of William Penn in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.  The Delaware River, known at the Lenape Sippu, is a sacred river to the Lenapes.   In 2002 before the signing of the first Treaty, a canoe trip from Hancock, New York, to Cape May, New Jersey, covered the entire length of the Delaware.   From August 4 through 17 2006, that journey was repeated, this time ending at Pennsbury Manor.  Each day the sojourners gathered for prayer before starting the days journey, an act of respect for each other, the sacred waters of the river and thanks to the Creator.   The entire trip was a a act of reverence for the River and its watershed, the lifeblood of the land.   Pictures below depict some of the beauty of the River and the joy of the participants.
