The Lenape tribe is tribal community now mostly known as the Delaware Tribe of Indians and the Delaware Nation. They were also called Lenni Lenape. In their native language Lenni means genuine or real while Lenape means Indian or people (Waldman). The Lenape language was originally taken from an Algonquian language. However, the Lenape language was wiped out and currently there are very few Lenape Indians that are capable of speaking their native language fluently. There are currently very few Lenape
FoodEdit The Lenape tribes ate various kinds of food, including both vegetables and meat. Food had to be dried or eaten quickly because their modes of preservation were not as good as it is today. Hunting and fishing were very important because it was the only way to get food. Deer, elk, black bear, raccoon, beaver, and rabbit were among the animals hunted for meat, skins, and sinew. Bear fat was melted, purified, and stored in skin bags. Turkeys, ducks, geese, and other birds were also hunted for
The Light in the Forest Conrad Richter presents a historic fictional work describing the colonial frontier in The Light in the Forest. True Son, born as John Butler, was captured by the Lenni Lenape Indians at the age of four. He was adopted by them and raised as the son of their chief, Cuyloga. He became a part of the Indian culture. Later the Indians made a treaty with the whites and all white captives were to be returned to their people, including 15-year-old True Son. However, True Son
The Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimoore Cooper is one of the most acclaimed and best-selling books about the American Frontier to be ever written. It is and was hailed as a masterpiece due to its more human characterizations of the Native American warriors and tribesman for that time period. The Last of the Mohicans is viewed as the first popular book that portrayed Native Americans in a more positive manner rather than as crude savages who were resolutely determined on killing ‘the white man’
In The Last of the Mohicans, the English travelers are not used to the savage American forests. They are used to having tea on their lawns and garden parties every week. They are used to having whatever they want, whenever they want it. This Victorian lifestyle of having more than you could ever want, is very different from the the lifestyle of the Americas where you don’t have anything but the clothes you are wearing and the gun in your hand, and if you don't find food that day, you won't eat dinner
the Delaware, had an annual religious ceremony that differed from those of other tribes. The Big House Ceremony, or Gamwing Ritual was once known as the most important tradition of the Lenape and it was ended because the people assumed that they can still survive without it. From my standpoint, I think that the Lenape should not restore the Gamwing. With the loss of the this tradition many years ago, it will be difficult to reestablish this practice. The early decades of the twentieth century brought
Interestingly, the Lenape tribe chose to name some of their villages based upon the same topographical and geographical advantages that were identified as strong proponents to the founding of Philadelphia. These advantages would later provide Philadelphia with immense economic
main trading route of the Lenape Indians. The trail was known as the Wickquasgeck Trail and ran 15 miles through rough terrain (Purdy). The trail was used to trade with other Indian Tribes, French, English, and Dutch settlers who came to live in that area. The Lenape Indians had no system for land
been my belief, and these two values are especially appreciated in healthcare when they are sometimes all you can give to a struggling resident, peer, or friend. I was given the opportunity through my shop, Sports Medicine/Allied Health Careers at Lenape Tech and the Armstrong County Memorial Hospital’s partnership program, to volunteer this past year and get a glimpse inside the daily life of the hospital staff, and I now have a new appreciation, not just for the nurses and physicians, but for all
Speck’s study had a long lasting effect on the Ramapo people. Speck’s claims that the Ramapo people had neither group consciousness nor any surviving culture or language, undermined the groups identity claims. In so doing, Speck’s assessment placed the Ramapo outside the bounds of supposed authentic Indianess. As a result, the group was left to forge their identity without benefit of his scientific endorsement in addition to the the stain of scientific rejection. Speck’s assessment of the Jackson
was called New Sweden when the Swedes took it from the Lenape Native Americans. It was then called New Amstel when the Dutch took it from the Swedes. It then became a part of Pennsylvania, but the people living there did not want to be a part of Pennsylvania. The people eventually gained independence from Pennsylvania, and named the new state Delaware. Delaware’s oldest ethnic heritage is the Native Americans who called themselves the Lenape. Delaware also has Swedish and Dutch ethnic heritage
I have analyzed the “The Air is Sweet and Clear, the Heavens Serene, like the South Parts of France”: William Penn Advertises for Colonists for Pennsylvania, 1683; by William Penn. This article demonstrates and reveals his observations and feelings about the new land. He expresses his feelings on how plentiful the land is. He describes in detail what he sees. His ideas and wants for the land. Penn takes a debt and turns it into good. He wants to lay down the griefs from the past to create a land
Delaware, also known as the “breadbasket colony” for its mass production of wheat, was founded in 1636 by Peter Minuit and the New Sweden Company. Named after the Delaware River, whose roots derived from Sir Thomas West, Virginia Company’s first governor, the colony of Delaware was originally named New Sweden as an unsuccessful attempt by the Swedes to found a brand new colony in the New World. From the very start of its colonization, New Sweden was lacking manpower in a mere 10 years, but slowly

fought between the Colonies, later the United States, with Spain and some Native Americans versus Great Britain with 5 Indian tribes between 1775 and 1782. The Native American tribes that supported Great Britain were the Shawnee, Seneca, Delaware, Lenape, Miami, and Wyandot. This was fought west of the Appalachians in the Ohio Valley and the Great Lakes Region. Many of the battles were fought close to or on battle sites of the French and Indian War (also known as the Seven Years War). One of the most
"Sylvania", which King Charles II changed to "Pennsylvania" in honor of the elder Penn. On 4 March 1681, the King signed the charter and Penn then traveled to America. While he was there, he negotiated Pennsylvania's first land-purchase survey with the Lenape Indian tribe. Penn purchased the first tract of land under a white oak tree at Graystones on 15 July
School shootings are the leading death by a fire arm in the United States. What motivates these people to want to kill others? Acts of violence at schools is not a new thing. School shootings date back to the 18th century. However, school shootings are growing more common in this day in age. What motivates these people to want to kill others? With social networks more and more people are being bullied, which results in more kids snapping and shooting up their school. Bullying isn’t the only reason
Both situations have a person or group of people that have not done anything to anyone, but their “friends” beat them up anyway. In 1781, Lenape Chief Buckongahelas gave a speech in Gnadenhutten Ohio. His speech tells of American men pushing Native Americans out of everything they have. He claims, “That this must be the case I concluded from the many cruel acts his offspring have committed

For example of traditional written devices: “Pictographs: from Aztac codeces, Lenape, Mnemonic devices: is wampum belts, winter counts, hieroglyphs” (Gemein, 04.02.2014). This passage, Dr. Gemien show us an example of tools that was being used from the Native American literature. The main issue in Cherokee nation that the non- native
little or no reason gave little relief to the survivors. History of School Shootings School shootings seemed like a new phenomenon, but they occurred for the majority of American history. The first school shooting occurred On July 26, 1764, when a Lenape Indian shot and killed nine children and the school master of the Greencastle, Pennsylvania school (Galvin): as noted in Appendix A. Since 1764, the number of school shootings rose exponentially. In the 1990’s, eighty-six school shootings occurred
