Here is an image of Kieft's War, a war fought by the Dutch and Delaware Indians, resulting in the Delaware being pushed farther west.

# data[].attributes.body
The relations of the Delaware with the Europeans started out friendly. The Dutch traded with them, and the Delaware passed the Dutch the allowance to use specific land. However, about two decades later, European settlement pushed the Delaware west, ultimately leading to a conflict. The Delaware suffered from diseases and warfare that the Europeans had inflicted them with.

Here is an image of the Delaware Indians. They were supposedly a very peaceful tribe of people that lost most of their land to the Dutch and other European settlers.

Not much is known about the relations of the Delaware Indians to other tribes. The Delaware tribes dominated most of the area around the Delaware until the Europeans arrived on their land. The Delaware were very peaceful people, and were a very large group.

A final important location for the Delaware Indians is today’s Toledo, Ohio, the location of the Battle of Fallen Timbers. The absolute location for this location is 41.65 degrees North, 83.56 degrees West. The relative location for this area is that this area is in Ohio, bordering Michigan to the north. South of it is Maumee (in which the Battle of Fallen Timbers took place in part). This location is important because it was the site of the Battle of Fallen Timbers, a battle the Delaware fought against the Europeans that pushed them out of Ohio. A side note: This battle actually took place exactly 223 years ago from the time I am writing this (August 20, 2017). I thought that it was a crazy coincidence, so I thought that I would just point it out.

Here is a depiction of Kieft's War. The war revolved around the Dutch's failed attempt to steal the land of the Delaware Indians and tax them.

Another important area for the Delaware Indians was what is now the metropolitan New York area. The absolute location for this area is 40.77 degrees North, 73.98 degrees West. The relative location of this area is west of Long Island, in southeastern New York. This area was important because it had a major role in the fighting of Kieft’s War, a war fought between the Dutch and the Delaware Indians. This war was fought over land rights and the Dutch taxation of the Delaware Indians.

Here is a picture of the Delaware River. As previously mentioned, this was the main area that the Lenni Lenape/Delaware Indians settled.

# data[].attributes.body
One important location of the Lenni Lenape tribes was the Delaware River. Its absolute location is 40.67 degrees North, 75.15 degrees West. Its relative location is located in Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, and New York. The Delaware River was an important location because it was the area that the Lenni Lenape and Delaware people first settled along. The river served as the main water source for the tribes. Fun fact - The Delaware River is how the Lenni Lenape people got their other name - The Delaware!

The Delaware people farmed and hunted to get food.

# data[].attributes.body
The Delaware Indians were farming people. Delaware women did most of the farming, harvesting corn, squash and beans. Delaware men went hunting for deer, elk, turkeys, and small game, and caught fish in the rivers and inlets. Delaware Indian foods included soup, cornbread, dumplings and salads.

The common physical features of the northeastern United States, specifically where the Delaware and Lenni Lenape tribes lived (Parts of what is now New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, and the Delaware River Basin), are very diverse. Your common physical features depended on where you lived in that area. In areas along the coastline, lots of marine life lived in the oceans and rivers in the area. Further inland were lots of forests and woodlands with rivers and plant life. Many mammals stalked these forests, and were hunted by the Lenni Lenape Indians.

The customs of the Delaware tribes consisted of a harvest festival known as gamwing at the beginning of each fall, where they took time to worship and give thanks to their gods. The tribes would dance and sing joyfully to celebrate the occasion. It was a time of love, joy, and celebration for the Delaware Native Americans.

Here, we see a picture of a sachem. They were the chiefs of the Lenni Lenape and Delaware tribes.

# data[].attributes.body
The government of the Delaware tribes was a participatory democracy, with meetings and councils being led by a chief, also known as a sachem. These leaders had to obtain their power through charisma and persuasion. The chief did not have much control over his tribe, and he mostly acted as a representative of his people among the British. While a sachem would appoint the one who would succeed them, this did not automatically appoint that person upon the death of the current sachem.

The Delaware lived in small villages of rectangular bark covered houses, dome shaped after the Algonquian wigwam.

The men wore breechclouts and moccasins, with leggings and a robe to cover themselves in cold weather. Women had knee- or calf-length wrap-around skirts and wore fur robes in winter.

One of the most well-known of the Delaware tribe languages was called the Unami Delaware, though there were many different languages spoken among different groups of Delaware people. These languages are not very well-known today, however young Lenape and Delaware Native Americans are trying to bring the language back.

The Delaware Indians formed alliances with the Frenchmen and engaged in the fur trade. They hunted animals for their fur, that they gave to the Frenchmen. In return, the French gave them European cookware and guns, as well as alcohol.

Delaware, one of the main areas the Delaware tribe settled and is named after, is mostly made up of flat land. It also has a coastal plain bordering the Atlantic Ocean to the east. The Delaware also settled in what is now New York, and Pennsylvania, all areas where the Delaware River flowed. Unlike Delaware, Pennsylvania is a state almost completely covered in rolling hills and mountain ranges.

When British colonists began to encroach on their space, the Delaware tribe was forced to move westward. Then, the 1758 Treaty of Easton made them move to Ohio. While trying to escape the British colonists, the Delaware ran into the Iroquois tribe, who made them continue moving west. Some Delaware natives settled in eastern Ohio along the Muskingum River, while others settled in northwestern Ohio along the Auglaize River. They are now located in northern Oklahoma and southern Kansas.
