The Lenape tribe, also known as the Delaware Nation, lived for centuries on the land that English colonists named New Jersey. Driven west to Indiana, Missouri, and finally to Oklahoma, the Lenape managed to preserve the essence of their ancestral homeland: the stories that had been passed down for generations. On the Turtle's Back is the first collection of Lenape folklore. Compiled by anthropologist M. R. Harrington over a century ago, but never published until now, in it the Delaware share their cherished tales about the world's creation, epic heroes, and ordinary human foibles. Recent interviews with Lenape elders are also included, as their reflections on hearing these stories as children speak to the status of the tribe and its culture today. Together they welcome you into their rich and wonderous imaginative world.
