Editor's Notes
- The Delaware Indian originally called themselves Lenape people which means something like “The People.” However, they were given the name Delaware because they lived along the Delaware River, and the river in turn was named after the governor of the Jamestown colony, Lord de la Warr. The Delaware name later came to be applied to almost all the Lenape people.
- When we talk about the foods the early Lenape people ate we must remember that there were no supermarkets at which to buy the foods, and there were no refrigerators in which to store the food. The food had to be eaten very soon or it had to be prepared in various ways for storage so it could be eaten later.
- Men and boys knew that hunting and fishing were very important. Deer, elk, black bear, raccoon, beaver, and rabbit were among the animals hunted for meat, skins, and sinew, and the bear’s fat was melted, purified, and stored in skin bags.. To prevent spoilage, some meat and fish were smoked and dried in the sun. Dried meat lasted for a long time. Dried meat could be chewed, or it could be cooked in a soup or stew. The Lenape always shared their food so no one ever went hungry as long as there was food in the village.
- . They tied the turkey feathers on to a hand-made net backing that was then fastened to a skin cloak worn over the shoulders. Birds were hunted, trapped, and their eggs were eaten. Marsh birds such as geese and ducks were killed with bows and arrows. They were also caught in traps and nets. Turkeys, ducks, geese, and other birds were killed for meat and feathers Turkeys were favorite game birds that lived in the forest. Their meat was good to eat, and Indian women liked to make colorful robes and mantles with the turkey’s feathers
- Fresh fish were cooked over a fire. The women also wrapped fish in clay and baked them in hot ashes. The clay acted like an oven. When the fish was ready to eat, the clay was broken away and all the skin and scales came off with it. When the Lenape caught more fish than they could eat, they dried them in the sun, or smoked them over a wood fire. This preserved the fish so that they could be stored and eaten at a later time. Fish eggs or roe were a special treat

- Wild Plant Foods Women and children went into fields and forests to gather plants, roots, berries, fruits, mushrooms, and nuts. Most of this food was eaten as soon as it was ripe. Sometimes there was so much plant food that the surplus could be dried and stored for the wintertime. In the spring there were wild strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries. The roots of cattail plants and water lilies were eaten, and persimmons, cranberries, and wild plums were also gathered. Nuts such as walnuts, butternut. hickory nuts, and chestnuts were gathered in October and November.
- Cooking oil was made from nuts that were crushed and cooked in boiling water. The nut oil floated to the top of the water where it was scooped off with spoons or ladles made from turtle shells or clam shells. The nut oil was stored in gourd bottles or clay pots until needed.
- Plants In their gardens the Lenape Indians planted corn, beans, and squash. Sunflowers, herbs, and some tobacco were also planted. Vegetables were eaten as soon as they were ripe, or some were also stored away for the wintertime. Ears of corn were tied in bundles and hung from the ceilings of the houses to dry. Corn kernels and beans were removed and stored in skin bags. Pumpkins and squash were cut into rings. These rings were put on a stick and hung up to dry in the sun. As long as these foods were kept dry, they would not spoil. When a Lenape woman wanted to use dried food, she cooked it in water. The water made the dried food swell up and become soft enough to eat. Some Lenape also dug deep, wide holes or storage pits into the earth. Dried meat, dried fish, nuts, and other dried foods were placed in these storage pits. Stored foods helped the Lenape survive the cold winter.
- The clothing of the Lenape was simple. 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, or a beautiful mantle made from turkey feathers. Ornaments of bone, shell and wampum were sometimes worn as necklaces, or on wrists and ankles.
- Women sewed the clothes using bone needles, animal ligaments, hair or tough grass. Sewed skins of the bear, racoons beaver, wildcats, dogs and wolves
- Mostly bear skin was used for robes, and the fur inside. Leggings were made from deer or elk skins and winter moccasins were produced from bear skin with hair worn on the inside. Sometimes the men wear buckskin pants. Men wore a breechcloth which was a long piece of soft deerskin folded over a belt in the front and back. They usually wore no shoes but sometimes moccasins. Boys up to the age of 6 ran around almost nake during the summers.
- Women usually wore deer skin skirts that came to their knees. In the winter they wore animal pelts or robes made from animals skins and turkey feathers. They wore wampum beads on their foreheads.
- Hair. Lenape women usually wore their hair long. Sometimes they wore them in braids. The Lenape men, most often the warriors had a Mohawk hairstyle or shaved their heads completely except for a scalplock in the middle.
- Today, the other two federally recognized Lenape tribes are the Delaware Nation, which also calls Oklahoma home, and the Stockbridge-Munsee Community in Wisconsin.
