Drying Squash, Indian Bread and Indian Pottage
At the cooking fire in a Lenape village food would be preserved by drying and the daily food prepared. The squash is drying on the drying rack above the fire. The daily pottage of hominy, dried squash, Shackamaxon beans, chestnuts and venision is in the pot supported by rocks with the bread to the right of the pot.
