This project recenters the Wappinger American Indians in the cultural and ecological history of Putnam Valley through a system of learning pavilions and trails.  Located at Tompkins Corners—a historical Wappinger agricultural site and present-day cultural center—the trail leads users through five open-air pavilions, each tied to a Wappinger food source: deer, trout, nuts, berries, and three sisters farming. Designed with reference to Wappinger land and building practices and constructed using sustainable methods such as on-site oak harvesting, the pavilions translate traditional ecological knowledge into built form.  Each structure is adapted to its landscape and includes space for gathering, tool storage, and observation. The project integrates with the Hudson Highlands Land Trust’s Green Corridor initiative, linking ecological preservation with Indigenous histories and land use practices. By grounding design in Wappinger sustenance strategies, this work reinforces a more complete narrative of regional identity—supporting conservation of both land and cultural heritage.
