| | |  | | |  A peaceful, tolerant people known for their spirituality and fairness, the Lenape settled the Mid-Atlantic region over 5,000 years ago. Lenape clans were matrilineal, with Lenape women hunting and going to war along with the men. When the English, French and Dutch arrived, disease took the lives of many tribe members, and by the beginning of the 18th century, only 3,000 remained. By the 1900s, the Lenape moved to southwestern Missouri, Texas and Canada until they were forced to sell their reservations and move to the Indian territories in northern Oklahoma. Today, the largest faction of the tribe lives on part of the Cherokee Nation reservation.
