  • Piscataway - Indigenous Recipe: Turnips and Winter Squash
  • Eastern Woodland Native Games
    • The Butterfly Hide And Seek: from World Atlas​ - The game was a very quiet game played by little girls. A girl would close her eyes and sing "Butterfly, butterfly, show me where to go." The rest would hide quickly but quietly. The singer then had to seek the other girls without another word. It was a game of skill, and the skilled girl could identify the hiding place by following the marks left by those in concealment.
