4th graders,
We have been talking about Peter Stuyvesant and Peter Minuet as past of the Manahatta to Manhattan project.
Here are the resources we worked with in class:

Remember, the internet has 2 things; good and garbage. Garbage doesn’t just mean things that may not be appropriate, garbage can also mean things that are not relevant or important to your work. Those links above have a lot of great detail as it relates to their involvement with Manahatta and the Lenape, but there is also a lot of other information about their lives that doesn’t help our mission. Focus on the facts that matter to you, and this project, and don’t worry about the other details.
