The Lenape are a Native American people originally from the northeastern United States, particularly in areas that are now New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware. They are part of the larger Algonquian language family and have a rich cultural heritage that includes traditional stories, music, and crafts. Historically, the Lenape lived in small, semi-nomadic communities, relying on agriculture, hunting, and fishing for sustenance. They played a significant role in early American history, interacting with European settlers and participating in various treaties. Today, the Lenape continue to preserve their culture and traditions while advocating for their rights and recognition.
