Delaware Indians

A confederacy, of Algonquian stock, occupying the

basin of the Delaware River. They were known to the British as

Delawares; to the French as Loups; and they called themselves, Lenape.

Early in the eighteenth century, the Iroquois brought them into

subjection. They crossed the mountains, and formed settlements in

eastern Ohio, about the middle of the century. The remnant of the

Delawares are now on reservations in Oklahoma, with a few hundred in

Canada. =Index=: (Sir Frederick Haldimand era) Bring prisoners from Wyoming, 149. =Bib.=: Hodge,
