Other Sites Terre Haute - A history and a guide This is my history and guide to my adopted home - Terre Haute, Indiana. Indians of Indiana This is not a history of any particular tribe but of Indiana. From first contact with the white man and their relentless move westward, pushing the Native Americans before them, from about 1650 onwards many tribes lived for a while in Indiana. The story of Indiana between 1750 and 1840 is the story of what happens when two very different cultures meet. The Kickapoo also belong to the Alogonquian speaking people. They take their name from Kiwegapawa, which means "he stands about" or "he moves about". The Kickapoo homeland was originally in northwest Ohio and southern Michigan in the area between Lake Eerie and Lake Michigan. By 1658 attacks from the east by the Ottawa, Neutral and Iroquois Indians had forced them into southwest Wisconsin. Around 1700 they had begun to move south into central Illinois and the Wabash Valley in Indiana. The Miami are also an Alogonquian speaking nation. Their original homeland was northern Indiana, north eastern Illinois and north western Ohio. The Wea and Piankashaw are part of the Miami nation but were forced from the area by the Iroquois in the 1650's. They settled in Wisconsin and northern Illinois but by around 1710 had mostly returned to Indiana. Their name, Me-ah-me (whence Maumee), and in the full plural form Ou-miami-wek, is of uncertain meaning and derivation. Early English writers called them Twightwee, a corruption of their Iroquois name, intended to imitate the cry of a crane. The first European contact was recorded as being about 1654 when two French explorers found some Miami refugees northwest of Green Bay, Wisconsin. The first written record of them was in 1658.

Themes from the Past Introduction Allegiance to the Federal Government Civil War Within the Cherokee Nation In the East ... Sources of Information and Illustrations Swearing in of Native Indians recruits. Credit: State Historical Society of Wisconsin INTRODUCTION At a time when fear of removal from tribal homelands permeated Native American communities, many native people served in the military during the Civil War. These courageous men fought with distinction, knowing they might jeopardize their freedom, unique cultures, and ancestral lands if they ended up on the losing side of the white man's war. In an interesting twist of history, General Ely S. Parker, a member of the Seneca tribe, drew up the articles of surrender which General Robert E. Lee signed at Appomattox Court House on April 9, 1865. Gen. Parker, who served as Gen. Ulysses S. Grant's military secretary and was a trained attorney, was once rejected for Union military service because of his race. At Appomattox, Lee is said to have remarked to Parker, "I am glad to see one real American here," to which Parker replied, "We are all Americans." Read this intriguing account of Native American contributions to the war effort for a fuller understanding of what the conflict meant to "all Americans."

31. The Native Americans Of Columbia County, New York A brief overview of the native americans who lived in the Valatie area before Along the way they were joined by a number of fellow delaware indians from http://valatielibrary.org/mohicans.htm

The Mohicans of Columbia County The Natives who greeted Henry Hudson in the Columbia County area called themselves the Muh-he-con-neok, "the people of the waters that are never still" or the Muhhekunneuw, "the people of the great river". Over time, these names were shortened by the European settlers to "Mahican" or "Mohican", words that are unfortunately easy to confuse with "Mohegan", the name of a separate tribe from eastern Connecticut. (James Fenimore Cooper was apparently confused; his novel The Last of the Mohicans involves Mohegan Indians fighting in wars that were actually fought by the Mohicans The Mohicans were members of a confederation of river-dwelling tribes known as the Lenape (pronounced len-NAH-pay), "The People" or "The Original People". The Lenape territory included the valleys of the Hudson and Delaware Rivers (hence the name "Delaware Indians") as well as Manhattan and Long Island. The Mohican lands extended from the Catskill Mountains to the Berkshires of Massachusetts, and from northern Dutchess County to the southern tip of Lake Champlain. The "capital" village, home of the tribe's council fire, was at Schodack, in what is now Rensselaer County. At the time of first contact with the Europeans, there were about 8,000 Mohicans. By the end of the American Revolution, war, disease and hunger had reduced their number to fewer than 800. The long-standing rivalry between the Mohicans and their Iroquois neighbors, the Mohawks, was made worse by the arrival of the Europeans. The Dutch explorers and traders who arrived first in the Hudson Valley recruited the Mohicans as trading partners and allies in their conflicts with the French and

Delaware Nation Algonquian. Had the longest contact with the European people of the tribes in Ohio. History Originally lived along Delaware River to southern New York state. Lenape are believed to be the oldest and first Algonquian speakers so they were often called the "Grandfathers." The Lenape were a sect of the Delaware people. It's possible the pictographs that record the history of the Lenape go back at least 14,000 years. Delaware is not a Native American name. It comes from the Governor of Virginia, Lord Thomas West. His royal title was Lord de la Warr which became Delaware. Contact with European people began in 1524 with Giovanni da Verrazano. There was much trading of furs which culminated in the Beaver Wars. 1633 small pox struck the Delaware and half of the population was lost. The European concept of ownership of land was a foreign concept to Native people, especially the Delaware.

Walking Purchase Language (live audio) Page 1 Page 2 Bird Names in Lenape (live audio): Page 1 Page 2 Delaware Tribe Health and Wellness Center Chief Brooks Many of the early treaties and land sales we signed with the Europeans were in our people's minds more like leases. The early Delaware had no idea that land was something that could be sold. The land belonged to the Creator, and the Lenape people were only using it to shelter and feed their people. When the poor, bedraggled people got off their ships after the long voyage and needed a place to live we shared the land with them. They gave us a few token gifts for our people's kindness, but in the mind of the Europeans these gifts were actually the purchase price for the land. Our Delaware people signed the first Indian treaty with the newly formed United States Government on September 17, 1778. Nevertheless, through war and peace, our ancestors had to continue to give up their lands and move westward (first to Ohio, then to Indiana, Missouri, Kansas , and finally, Indian Territory, now Oklahoma). One small band of Delawares left our group in the late 1700s and through different migrations are today located at Anadarko, Oklahoma. Small contingents of Delawares fled to Canada during a time of extreme persecution and today occupy two reserves in Ontario (The Delaware Nation at Moraviantown and The Munsee-Delaware Nation).

Return Home Social Dances of the Lenape and Other North-Eastern Indian Tribes It is a beautiful night. Somewhere in the Lenape homeland there is a large gathering of people who have come together for a ceremonial. It took place during the day, and now the sun has set. Inside the dance area the attendants have brought in the fire. People are sitting around visiting, and waiting. Then, the deep, resonant sound of the water drum begins. A steady beat is soon followed by the singing of the drummer. He is singing a song for the women to come out and dance. On either side of him sit other singers. They have gourd rattles, or other types of rattles, and they too sing along. The world is a wonderful place, the year is 1494, and the world of the Lenape and other Native people is about to suffer a drastic change. The scene we set above could have taken place almost anywhere in the east, from New York on south, perhaps as far as the Gulf of Mexico. Even to this day many of the old "Social Dance Songs" are remembered, and are still used by some tribes. What type of music is this, and how does it differ from modern-day pow-wow songs? Dr. Charlotte Heth, a Cherokee and an ethnomusicologist has stated some of the common aspects: We can generalize fairly easily about the characteristics of Eastern and Southeastern music and dance today: Dances are performed in a counter-clockwise manner, for the most part.

The Delaware were not migratory and appear to have occupied their homeland for thousands of years before the coming of the Europeans. During the next three centuries, white settlement forced the Delaware to relocate at least twenty times. By 1900 they had lived in: Delaware, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Ontario, Michigan, Indiana, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, Wisconsin, Kansas, and Oklahoma. However, a government plan to move some of the Delaware to Minnesota was never carried out.

Native American Languages Native American Nations What's new on our site today! Native Languages of the Americas: Lenape (Unami, Delaware, Lenni Lenape) Language: Lenapé, also known as Unami or Delaware, is an Algonquian language once spoken in New Jersey and Delaware. Today there are no fluent speakers of Lenape Delaware, though many elders in Oklahoma still know some of the language. As with many dying Indian languages, there has been a resurgence in interest among some of the younger generation of Lenapes, and efforts to revive the language are underway. Two closely related languages are considered dialects of Lenape by some linguists and distinct Algonquian languages by others Nanticoke or Southern Delaware, which was last spoken in the mid-1800's, and Munsee Delaware , which is still spoken by a few elders in Ontario. People: The Lenni Lenape or Delaware Indians are often said to be extinct. This is not so; there are about 11,000 Lenape people in Oklahoma, where they were sent by the US government (which only recently stopped incorrectly classifying them as Cherokees), and another 5000 Lenape descendents in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, though they do not have federal recognition. The Munsee Delawares , in Ontario and Wisconsin, consider themselves a distinct tribe.
