I am writing about the the Delaware Tribe,they are also known as the Lenni Lenape or the Godfather Tribe.My group is Mark and I.I am writng about their shelters, customs and traditions,and their enviroment and area.
They were given that name Delaware because they had lived among the Delaware River.The Europian travelers called it Lord de la Warr River.They also were given Godfather because of how they were the most peaceful of all of the tribes.They had barelly had
ever stared war with other Native Tribes.They had met Verrazano
the Spanish conquistador from Europe as he had passed by the Native Tribes homeland.
Their enviroment and area was not too hot or to cold for them. It was just perfect.They had settled in the states of New York. New Jersey, Delaware,and Pennsylvania.Some of this Native Tribes people had settled near the Great Lakes that border hte United States and Canada.It was
a grassy plain with good nitrious soil great for the farming for the Delaware Tribe. Once in this
Native Tribe its population went up to 16,000.
The Delaware Tribes' shelter were called wigwam.There ia a picture to the right of one. They come in different sizes and
shapes.There are four types of wigwams.They are Framed
