aeas. Munseys and Maquaas. Ac-
cording to the accounts left by the
early settlers the New Jersey In
dians had no set form of rel eions
rites such as We're known TO some
tribes. They believed in a Supreme
Being, and were taught that good
Indians were born again after death
and lived in some country far to the
South. They were noted for their
extreme generosity, and their great
est pleasure was to honor their
friends with the best they had in
their possession. They were very
bartering, and anyone who IA
to keep an agreement was ignored
when he attempted to make another
bargain. They married at an early
age, and while separation was not
against the law-chiehy because there
We're no set laws and no executive
body to enforce them-it was ex-
tremely uncommon but not alto
gether unheard of, for couples to
separate occasionally. On such oc-
casions the children went with the
parent who loved them most. When
given In marriage the girl presented
an ear of corn or some other vegeta-
BILE to show that she would till the
soil. and the man gave a bone to
evidence his good faith in providing
game for his bride. On rare occa-
sions they offered a sacrifice, II
which case the animal was killed
and then buried The skeletons of
these animals are sometimes ploughed
up by Jersey farmers. The women
were extremely modest, and the
chiValry OF the tribes was shown by
the fact that 1t was considered far
greater crime to kill woman than
to murder a man..
