The Delaware Indian tribe, also known as
Lenape, of the Algonkin (Algonquian) linguistic stock lived along the Delaware River in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. They are called "Grandfathers" by other Algonquin Nations due to the fact that they are believed to have originated the language. Like other First Nations, the
Delaware were forced from their homes by European settlers. For years, alliances were made, broken, and the
Delaware always seemed to be on the losing end. Ultimately, they wound up living on a reservation in Kansas.
