About This Book

A collection of ethnological studies that situates the Lenape within broader Algonkin and Iroquoian contexts and traces regional relationships and migrations. It details Lenape social organization, material culture, subsistence, crafts, religious beliefs, ceremonies, totems, burial practices, and mnemonic picture-writing. The volume supplies extensive linguistic material: vocabularies, dialect comparisons, grammatical notes, and discussions of manuscript sources. A principal feature is the complete presentation, translation, and philological analysis of the Walam Olum, including its phonetics, metrical form, pictographic elements, and questions of authenticity. Supplementary notes, a vocabulary, appendices, and indices support the historical, cultural, and linguistic examinations.
