where does lenni lenape
Centuries ago, our Lenape and Nanticoke ancestors were among those locally referred to as âCohansies,â âThe Indians of Cohansey Bridge,â Alloways,â âLittle Siconese,â among other names. The Lenni-Lenape (or simply âLenapeâ) are the ancient root of many other American Indian nations. The Lenape homeland included all of New Jersey, northern Delaware, eastern Pennsylvania, and southeastern New York. The Nanticoke are the people of the Delmarva between the Chesapeake and Delaware Bays. Our tribal nation of Nanticoke and Lenape people are the result of the coalescing of these two interrelated tribes, beginning as far back as the 1600âs. Our ancestors never surrender their tribal identity or inherent sovereignty.
