History
Before the Europian Colonization, the Lenape lived mostly along the banks of the Delaware River.
The Lenape were one of the First Nation who came into contact with the British. They met with William Penn, who founded Pennsylvania. After his death, his sons evicted the Lenape forcefully from their land as part of a deal known as "Walking Purchase".
The Lenape primarily sided with the French during the French and Indian War, however, small groups left and joined the British. In 1778, they signed a land treaty with the Continental Congress, which allowed them to receive supplies instead of scouts for the army.
They were left isolated into parts like Ohio and Southern Canada by the modern-day United States.
