Also called the Lenni-Lenape, or the Delaware. Before European colonization, the Lenape lived mostly along the banks of the Delaware river in what's modern-day New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The Lenape were one of the first nations to come into contact with Europeans - most significantly with William Penn, who founded Pennsylvania, which was a stroke of luck, given his name. While the Lenape relationship with Penn was mostly peaceful, when Penn died, his sons forced most of the Lenape off their land in a deal known as the "Walking Purchase".
