About this listen
In this episode, we’re diving into the story behind the Nittany Lion—the beloved Penn State mascot—and the legend of Mount Nittany. We chat about how the original Lenape tales were shared in their own language, and how those stories got a bit of a European makeover when settlers came along. You’ll hear how place names and myths were recorded phonetically, with all the quirks and inconsistencies that come with it. So pull up a chair and let’s talk legends, language, and a bit of local lion lore!
