About Us
FOWCAS was born out of a concern that one of the Hudson Valley's most important ancient sites, next to Mercy College in Dobbs Ferry, was threatened by a planned development. FOWCAS continues to advocate for the honoring of Wickers Creek Archaeological Site and its Native American inhabitants.
Mission:
To remember and honor the first residents of Wysquaqua, now known as Dobbs Ferry: the Lenape people.
To fulfill this mission, we . . .
• Ensure the preservation and public display of the artifacts,
• Advocate for place naming and signage,
• Safeguard continued access to the site,
• Educate the public of the site’s historical significance,
• Sponsor speakers and cultural events,
• Protect the land.
