Mystery: Who Brought Beans to the Lenape and Mahicans in the 1300s?

[GreatGazoo]

5. I have reached out to some tribe member linguists and asked

for the name, and meaning of that name, for the exact beans used in 3 Sisters. Will update if that leads to a breakthrough.

I love this stuff. Started when I married a Cherokee LNP and was contacted by Hopi (!) elders who saw me in a vision during a ceremony at Four Corners. It's crazy sounding stuff that I might not believe if it didn't keep happening. I have a fair chance of figuring this bean thing out. I have been researching Henry Hudson off an on for about 5 years and that led to more questions and some of the timeline of Erik the Red, the French, Verrazzano and Mali that have in the OP. It's like a jigsaw puzzle that you don't have the box for. The more piece that fall into place the more you want the rest.

This is my source for the "Taino came to the Hudson River and intermarried" stuff. I have two of his books. Unique perspective that is missing from many versions of American history. He is a Prof at Marist:

And I absolutely LOVE Kimmerer's work and perspective. I may reach out to her if I can't crack this through other sources:
