Native Americans

The Native Americans called themselves the Lenni-lenapes , which means "original people". They lived on a land that provided them with everything that needed to help them live. In the forest they hunted for deer, squirrels, foxes, raccoon, mink, and bears for meat and furs. The women of the tribe prepared and cooked the food. In the spring, they traveled to the seashore, where they enjoyed the plentiful fish and shellfish. On their journeys, they created many trails that were later made into roads by European settlers.
