Brooklyn Demme--"Akuy Eenda Maawehlaang: The Place Where People Gather"
Brooklyn Demme's documentary "Akuy Eenda Maawehlaang: The Place Where People Gather," charts the Ramapough-Lenape Nation's struggle to gather and pray on their land along the Ramapo River. The nation has faced years of legal disputes with the township of Mahwah as well as their neighbors — an enclave of multi-million-dollar homes called the Polo Club.
The 14-acre Split Rock Sweet Water Prayer Camp is considered sacred to the Ramapoughs, who number about 3,500, many of them living across the state border in Hillburn. Lenape means "the people" and Ramapough means "clear water" or "sweet water," according to the film.
