METUCHEN – Borough officials acknowledge not enough is done to recognize the borough’s namesake Lenni-Lenape Indian Chief Metuchen.
Plans to do more to recognize the Lenni-Lenape chief and Indigenous people are in the works.
In October, the borough is planning to recognize Indigenous Peoples’ Day, a day that celebrates and honors Native American peoples and commemorates their histories and cultures. The borough’s Human Relations Commission is committed to learning more about the people and culture and the Metuchen Police Department will receive sensitivity training through Rev. John R. Norwood, a renowned Nanticoke Lenni-Lenape Tribal councilman and judge.
The plans and commitment were the outcome of discussion when members of Metuchen Youth 4 Equity & Racial Justice, a non-hierarchal group of 30 young people, requested borough officials remove the Lenni-Lenape Indian Chief Metuchen on the police badge, borough seal, material and cars.
