The Lenape people are a Native American tribe 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 villages and relied on agriculture, hunting, and fishing for sustenance. They were known for their democratic governance and social structures. Today, many Lenape descendants continue to preserve their culture and traditions, while also advocating for recognition and rights within the broader American society.
