Diving into themes of ancestry, colonialism and race, Conversations imagines discussions that arise with the indigenous Nanticoke' Lenni-Lenape people of past, present and future. The water of the Delaware River brings age-old questions to the surface: beckoning listeners to question, be aware of, and learn about the land they move through.
