“First the missionaries then the military.”

I grew up at Lake Hopatcong. For most of 5th grade (1954-55) we had a substitute teacher, his name was Mr. Eckler. He taught us the basic 5th grade stuff, but much of the time he talked about the Lenape. He had boxes of artifacts - like a pickup truck full, which he said he found mostly at Great Meadows. Over the school year, he read to us from "Dickon Among the Indians." He told me of a Lenape village (not saying where) which normally is underwater except for the times when the lake is lowered. I've been there many times, photographed circles of fire-blackened stones, found flint chips around the base of a rock where someone sat and made tools. I found a perfect grooved stone axe head at Hopatcong state park, when I was 11. Waterloo. I camped many times at Allamuchy Boy Scout camp, an easy walk to Waterloo. We would launch our canoes there. There was much talk about a fur trader - entrepreneur from the canal era, named "Frenchie." There used to be old stone houses and a long brick smoke tunnel around the scout camp, attributed to "Frenchie"and his fur and other businesses. I went there as a teenager several times. There were more remnants of the Morris Canal then than now. I haven't lived in N.J. for more than 50 years, but I'm still hooked on Lenape history and culture.

@@joshuasnore3600 Well, I said it was Lake Hopatcong. The Morris-Sussex County line runs through the middle of it. The exact location of the village can be easily learned from the Hopatcong Historical Society. Their museum is at Hopatcong State Park. There are diagrams, maps, artifacts. It originally was called "Pechquakock," later called "Aroucun." Ther's not much left to see, there used to be post-mold circles of wigwams, but there was a major boatyard close by, and that stuff got washed away by prop-wash, etc. The lake is lowered 5' every 5 years. - used to be 6' every 4 years, and more was visible. The lake is normally 11' above it's original level People have been picking up artifacts there for 250 years.

"Yantacaw," "Weequahic," "Watsesson," "Hoboken," "Weehauken," "Acquackanonk," "Passaic," "Pasquack," "Hohokus," "Secaucus, "Hopatcong" and "Netcong." And east of the lower Hudson River, Lenni Lenapes lived in "Manahatta."

I wish South Jersey had this type of village to visit. We had many Lenape here too. Like Manahawkin, land of good corn. Wow I didn't know they mentioned Manahawkin in the video till I got to the end. Tuckerton NJ down rt. 9 had an Indian burial mound. They place clam shells to make the mound. Its really cool to look at it.

You are correct. The HS football mascot was also the “Braves”, a Lenape warrior man. My dad was the coach, and mom is Lenape so it always felt cosmic to see my ancestor on my jacket. But then as I got older I realized how disrespectful it was, and how ppl used to mimic yells and calls at the games. These are sacred things, not for outsiders to play with.

I became interested in the Lenape people because Lenape LN intersects with Apollo Drive in Old Forge PA. Also Lenape LN leads to Seneca Dr, Cherokee Dr, Apache Dr. The Susquehanna River is a short walk away. I discovered the remnants of a teepee made of what appears to be white birch trees. At the time I thought it might be a boy scout project because I'm not sure how long dead white birch trees last. I hope to be able to find it again. I have a general idea. I know people still find arrow heads along the Lackawanna River which flows into The Susquehanna River I plan on looking into some more about The Lenape people.

If you visit any of the Reservations, you will see that the majority of them prefer to be called American Indian. The term "Native American" came from the US government in 1970. This was so they could further erase them and not have to honor historical treaties that were written between the US government and "American Indians." The word Indigenous is from university professors who want to virtue signal. Which is why many young people prefer the word Indigenous. But "Indigenous" also erases their identity and history. Anything can be "Indigenous" to an area, such as animals and plants, it just means something that occurs in an area naturally. There is much more to their identity other than just being Indigenous. The most respectful way to refer to someone is by how they want to referred. And many of them say American Indian. There's no need for people to try to take that away from them too.

If you wanna know the truth about the Lenape Indians check out Turtle Gang on youtube get the real knowledge

Don't white people realize that their story about how Native Americans came from Asia to the Americas is in stark conflict with the Native tribe's story of their origin? I'm so sick and disgusted with that crossing the Bering Strait bullshit story. But what REALLY pisses me off the most is how many Native Americans accept that bs story as true while at the same time holding on to their origin story from time immemorial and continue to pass down the story of their origin to their children in their traditional folklore while at the same time teaching their children to believe as true what the white man teaches them in schools.
