DELAWARE INDIANS

This article appears in Volume V07, Page 951 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DAH-DEM
DELAWARE INDIANS , the
English
  name for the Leni Lenape, a tribe of North American Indians of Algonquian stock. When first discovered by the whites the tribe was settled on the
banks
  of the
Delaware
  river. The
French
  called them Loups (wolves) from their
chief
  totemic division. Early in the 17th
century
  the Dutch began trading with them. Subsequently
William
  Penn bought large tracts of
land
  from them, and war followed, the Delawares alleging they had been defrauded; but, with the assistance of the Six Nations, the whites forced them back west of the Alleghenies. In 1789 they were placed on a
reservation
  in
Ohio
  and subsequently in 1818 were moved to Missouri. Various removals followed, until in 1866 they accepted lands in the Indianterritory (Oklahoma) and gave up the tribal relation. They have remained there and now number some 1700.
