Centuries ago, our Lenape and Nanticoke ancestors were among those locally referred to as âCohansies,â âThe Indians of Cohansey Bridge,â Alloways,â âLittle Siconese,â among other names. The Lenni-Lenape (or simply âLenapeâ) 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 1600âs. Our ancestors never surrender their tribal identity or inherent sovereignty.
New Jersey has two state recognized tribes, who are in part Lenape: the Nanticoke Lenni-Lenape Indians of New Jersey and Ramapough Lenape Nation. In Delaware, the Lenape are organized and state-recognized as the Lenape Indian Tribe of Delaware. Some Lenape or Delaware live in communities known as Urban Indians in their historic homeland in a number of states such as Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, and Virginia.
