Introduction to Pine Needle Art

Introduction to Pine Needle Art

My name is Tyrese "Bright Flower" Gould Jacinto, of Bridgeton, New Jersey. I am a member of the Nanticoke Lenni-Lenape Indian Tribe.  My parents are the late Phyllis "Red Deer" and the current Chief, Mark "Quiet Hawk" Gould. My parents were among a core group that initiated the modern-day structure of our ancient tribe. This, therefore, allowed me to be immersed in tribal life as a child.

What is dear to me is my ancient Lenape arts. Mastering shell art, gourd art, and basket weaving have been a tradition close to my heart.  I have five children and 2 grandchildren, and eager to pass on my Lenape traditions to them.  If we do not persevere and teach, these arts will not continue or be passed down.
