in New York's Hudson Valley. It was created in 2009
to commemorate Henry Hudson's arrival in 1609.
The painting and this website are dedicated to the Mohican and Wappinger Indians
-- both the ancestors who lived here many years ago, and their widespread descendants today --
and to the Red Hook and Rhinebeck communities as they strive
to honor the legacy of their history and to leave a healthy and vibrant legacy for their children.
