The coast of Sandy Hook is where people like Giovanni da Verrazano first met the Delaware tribe. This is the area where the Delaware tribe was located in the very early stages of their civilization, which was in the 1500s, and they did not stay here very long. After more European fishermen, whalers, and slavers started to interact with native people along the Atlantic Coast, the Delware tribe moved into states such as Pennsylvania, New York, and other states around that area.

The Delware tribe moved by foot. They woud also use canoes to travel in the rivers. They would walk and use canoes to go hunt, trade, and many other reasons. Europeans would trade guns, metal pots, glass beads, and cloth with the Delaware and in return the Delaware would trade their furs. Because of the trade with the Europeans, they spread the Algonquin language. Since tribes around the Delaware were very similar they also traded furs with the Europeans.

British colonists eventually intruded onto Delaware territory, which forced the tribe to move westward.The 1758 Treaty of Easton urged the Delaware Tribe into Ohio territory. When trying to escape from the British colonists, the Delaware tribe faced Iroquois natives, which then drove the Delaware farther west.

In the summer, they would set up temporary camps with birchbark wigwams for hunting and gathering. Lenape men clothes included long breechlcouts, leggings, long cloaks, and shoulder to waist length mantles.Lenape women wore wraparound skirts, tunics, and cloaks. Both men and women clothing were made out of animal skins. Men removed all facial hair and tattooing was common between both men and women, along with nose piercings.

The early Lenapes believed that a spirit by the name of Kishelemukong created the world. They also believed that both good and bad spirits populated the Earth, and Lenape tribe members would leave gifts where they believed the spirit lived, such as boquets of flowers. The Lenape also viewed themselves as one with nature.

By the 1800s, the Lenape tribe had adopted many Munsee and Christian beliefs. Modern day Lenapes mainly practice different Protestant religions. Funerals included transporting the corspe to burial grounds, ritual lamentation, and a feast for the dead.

The Delaware women were mainly farmers that harvested corn, squash and beans. The men hunted deer, elk, turkeys, small game, and fish. Some of their foods included soup, cornbread, dumplings, and salad. The Delaware tribes were known for their bead work and basketry. They also crafted a wampum which was made from white and purple shell beads. This was one of their forms of bead work which was also traded as a kind of currency. Their main way of transportation was by foot or by water. When traveling on water they would use their canoes made from dug out trees. Other tribes around the Delaware included the Shawnee and Iroquois. Both these tribes traded fur with the Europeans. The Shawnee and Iroquois both used longhouses, deer skins for houses and clothing, and used lumber for houses and canoes just like the Delaware. The Shawnee also spoke the same language as the Delaware which was Algonquin. Europeans would trade guns, metal pots, glass beads, and cloth with the Delaware and in return the Delaware would trade their furs.

The Delaware (Lenape) Tribe have adapted to their environment by learning how to hunt, fish, grow crops, make woodcraft, housekeeping, and gardening.Their clothing was also made of animal skins including deer and elk skin which were native to the land around them. The Delaware's transportation included using bark and dug out canoes to travel across the Delaware River and the East Coast. Wood was also used to make houses called Longhouses and Wigwam.  During the winter seasons the Delaware would wear snowshoes and use sleds to travel easier through the snow. Most of the Delaware's tools were made of stone, flint, and quarts that they would find  near where they lived.

The main region where the Delaware  tribe were located was in present day Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, and Ohio.These states are located in the Northeast region. The climate of the region is humid continental with an elevation of around sea level. Some neighbors of the Delaware tribe were the Iroquois and the Shawnee. When the Europeans came to Delaware territory they brought diseases including smallpox, measles and scarlet fever. These diseases majorly decreased the Delaware population.

The Delaware (Lenape) Tribe lived in the Northeast before the British invasion, which states included New Jersey, Delaware, southern New York, and eastern Pennsylvania. Being close to rivers and grassy areas allowed them to have access to water and areas to build shelters to keep them protected from intruders.

The Delaware Tribe originally lived along the Deleware River in New Jersey. The river gave them water and acted like an irrigation system. Eventually, the British invaded and the Delaware tribe was no longer able to stay along the Delaware River.
