Lenape - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Lenape were the people living in the vicinity of New York Bay and in the Delaware Valley at the time of the arrival of the Europeans in the 16th and 17th century. The Lenape were continually crowded out by European settlers and pressured to move in several stages over a period of about 175 years with the main body arriving in the Northeast region Oklahoma in the 1860s. The early interaction between the Lenape and the Dutch was primarily through the fur trade, specifically the exchange of beaver pelts by the Lenape for European-made goods. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Lenape   (942 words)

Delaware River Lenape Lenape villages, grouped in a distinct geographical area, were loosely bonded by a common totem symbol and a distinct dialect. Lenape references to the white man can be traced to the fifteenth century, and they probably inhabited the area long before the earliest European explorations. Because a Lenape legend held that at one time the world had been held on the back of a great turtle, the chief of the Unami was the most respected Lenape chief. www.newhopepa.com /DelawareRiver/Lenape2.htm   (2519 words)

Lenni Lenape. In their language, the words Lenni Lenape mean "men of men," or, "original people." Every band had a sachem or chief chosen by certain women called chiefmakers. This word, in the language of the Lenni Lenape, may come from an Algonquin root meaning "rest and repose." A more popular interpretation is "place of sassafras." Historians have found old deeds and documents which reveal the word Wanaque had many spellings - Wynokie, Wynocky, Wynoky, and Wynockie. Lenape traveled on foot between villages by means of a system of trails connecting different sections of the state. www.palsplus.org /wanaque/archive/lenape.htm   (834 words)

Indian King Tavern Museum: Named for the Lenni Lenape Living in villages of about 600, these Lenni Lenape people were hunters and trappers -- of deer and elk and beaver-- as well as farmers of maize, beans, pumpkins and tobacco. The Lenape who migrated inland became part of a vast population of similarly uprooted native peoples who continued to be pushed further west by the unstoppable expansion of the European-based civilization that became America. Lenape life was harsh and few individuals lived longer than 40 years; those who did were revered as special beings of unusual wisdom and authority. www.levins.com /ik6.html   (1572 words)

Delaware The Lenape, however, having lost half of their original population, were forced to abandon most of their villages west of the Delaware River, and, as a condition of peace, become a subject people. For many Algonquin, the Lenape were the "grandfathers," a term of great respect stemming from the widespread belief that the Lenapi were the original tribe of all Algonquin-speaking peoples, and this often gave the Lenapi the authority to settle disputes between rival tribes. Lenape were reluctant to tell their real name, and the use of nicknames was very common. www.tolatsga.org /dela.html   (16675 words)

Lenape Language and the Delaware Indian Tribe (Lenap, Unami, Lenni Lenape Indians) Most Lenapes were eventually forced to relocate to Oklahoma in the 1860's, where they entered an uneasy union with the Cherokee Nation, regaining their own tribal status only in 1996. History: The oral traditions of other eastern Indians suggest that Lenape lands were the original birthplace of all the Algonquian tribes, and the Lenape tribe itself was referred to as "grandfather" by other Algonquian Indian nations on account of this. Two closely related languages are considered dialects of Lenape by some linguists and distinct Algonquian languages by others: Nanticoke or Southern Delaware, which was last spoken in the mid-1800's, and Munsee Delaware, which is still spoken by a few elders in Ontario. www.native-languages.org /lenape.htm   (592 words)

The Unalactigo of NJ: Cumberland County, NJ As a part of the negotiations with the Lenni Lenape in 1758, a tract of 3,384 acres of land in southeastern Burlington County, known as Edge-pilloc, was purchased for use as an Indian reservation. We are told that all Lenni Lenape were somewhat similar to one another in appearance; most of them were of medium height and their bodies were well proportioned, slender and straight. In addition to this division, the Lenni Lenape were further divided into three subdivisions or "families" bearing the same names and totem insignia as those which apportioned the state, but had nothing to do with the area in which the people lived. www.co.cumberland.nj.us /facts/history/unalachtigo/unalachtigo.html   (5890 words)

§15. The "Walam Olum," or Red Score of the Lenni Lenape. XXXII. Non-English Writings II. Vol. 18. Later National Literature, Part III. The Cambridge History of English and American Literature: An Encyclopedia in Eighteen Volumes. 1907–21 The tendency to rhyme, especially to what is known today as internal rhyme, is noticeable, but Brinton thinks it possible that this may have been owed to influences of Christian hymns, with which the Lenni Lenape had been familiar for two generations. “ After the creation, began the rise of the Lenni Lenape in a land which has been identified as north of the St. Lawrence, toward the east. The Lenape retreated across Fish River, which was probably the Detroit crossing of the St. Lawrence, and, making an alliance with the Mingwe, the originals of the Five Nations, they descended on the Mound Builders and, after a hundred years’ war, drove them south of the Ohio. www.bonus.com /contour/bartlettqu/http@@/www.bartleby.com/228/0915.html   (689 words)

Skippack Historical Society, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania Overall, the original Lenni Lenape Indians had been described by early writers as being almost lovable in their hospitable simplicity, but after several decades of the white man's liquors and the intermixture of bloods, it developed that the red man was not what he once had been. They write that the Lenni Lenape were generous people, and "he invariably motioned his guest to the mat in the center of his wigwam- the seat of honor." It was the Indians who invented the dish called "succotash", of boiled corn and beans. One previous culture was the Lenni Lenape Indian tribe, also heavily active in the Skippack area. www.skippack.org /lenni_lenape.htm   (1326 words)

Perhaps it was one of his manitou, his spirits, there in the circle of the bravest Lenape, wearing a coat of red, raising a cup of strong-smelling brew, and talking in a strange tongue. Yet these strips of bull's hide seemed to swell and bloat, and the circle grew larger and larger, and the Lenape were forced outside, further and further from the rising sun in the east. www.marxmail.org /archives/november98/lenape.htm   (695 words)
