The Wapanakamikok, or Eastern Land People, have been forced to do a great deal of moving about since the beginning of European contact in 1607. The Lenape dialect of their common language is spoken today primarily in Oklahoma and Canada and descendents of Wapanakamikok groups are scattered in Wisconsin and Kansas as well. (The other two dialect groups are the R- and N- or Renape and Nenape groups respectively.) Other Native people have remained near their old homes or have migrated within the North Carolina-to-New Hampshire region, the original territory of the Wapanakamikok. Thus it is not at all suprising to find an organized Renape group in New Jersey, along with other Indian groups from the Hudson River Valley--the Ramapough people--and from Delaware--the Nanticoke group. Although forced to move in many different directions, Renape-Lenape-Nenape people continue to survive and to preserve their identity, whether in rural areas or major industrial centers. In this process of moving about, old republics and alliances have disappeared to be replaced by new groupings such as the "Cherokee Delawares" of northeastern Oklahoma, the Caddo-Wichita-Delawares of western Oklahoma, the Muncey of Kansas, the Stockbridge-Muncey of Wisconsin, the Delaware-Nanticoke component of the Grand River Iroquois in Canada, and many others. The social and political evolution of the Renape-Lenape-Nenape people has not come to an end and the future will bring still more change. (JHZ)
