Delaware...
"The Lenni-Lenape, or Lenape, were a group of related tribes
who lived along the Delaware River, and thus came to be called
Delawares by the Dutch and English settlers. In the 18th century
the Delawares were driven westward. A large segment of the
people were pushed into Ohio by the Iroquois, and those re-
maining in western Pennsylvania fled to Canada after the
unprovoked slaughter of the Indian Christian settlement at
Gnadenhuetten on the Muskingum River. The Western Dela-
wares fought in the American colonial wars on the side of the
French, and then on the side of the British. Later they moved by
stages into Texas, whence they were settled in Indian Territory.
There about 150 still live on a reservation. Some of the Eastern
Delawares are found along the Thames River in southern
Ontario. The Delaware language, spoken by some 8,000
Indians at the beginning of the 17th century, is an Algonquian
tongue, grouped geographically with the eastern tongues of this
large language family."--1000 Tongues, 1972 [Info only]**File: Delaware Bible History (3)--1860 S. Bagster [Info only]
