The European-American history of the Hudson is just a moment in the great sweep of geological and native time in the Hudson Valley…. If European explorers laid claim to the lands of the New World by the act of naming, then we must recognize the prior claim of native peoples inherent in “Muhheakantuck” and examine the disposition of that claim by the Europeans. The film installation and map project, Muhheakantuck – Everything has a Name, explores the history and territory of the Hudson River Valley at the “prolonged moment” of contact between Europe and Native America, comparing and contrasting techniques of cartography and narrative used to describe the river that is called “Muhheakantuck” by the Lenape people. The installation was commissioned by Minetta Brook for Watershed: The Hudson Valley Project.
