Lenapehoking, or "Land of the Lenape", showing the
traditional homeland of the Munsee and Unami-speaking Indians.
The names of the individual Indian groups are those recorded by the
seventeenth-century explorers and colonists. Note the complete
absence of names in the areas from the Raritan River to Cape May on
the Atlantic coast, above Trenton on the Delaware River, and in the
interior generally -- areas where there was little or no direct
contact between the Indians and Europeans. The Treaty of
Easton Line (1758) shows the traditional and mutually acknowledged
separation between the territories of the Munsee and Unami-speaking
peoples.
