The Lenape Indians
For thousands of years, along rivers and streams in what is now
known as the Delaware Valley, villages made up of oval and rectangular bark
wigwams could be found. Children were seen running, squealing in delight, and
playing games with one another. The women of the village, in knee length
skirts, were seen tending to the farm, cooking and caring for the children. The
men, donning their breechcloths and leggings, hunted, fished and traded to
provide for their families. These communities were known as the Lenni Lenape
Indians, translated as “the
true people.”
The Lenape Indians aka Delaware Indians lived in relatively
permanent villages along the waterways in the Delaware Valley. They would
travel in dug out canoes for trading furs or gathering supplies to aid farms.
