2. Tribe we’re studying: The Lenape
Different Native American tribes lived across the United States
We’re studying the life and culture of one tribe: The Lenape
This tribe lived in the Northeast Woodlands region of the country

3. The Lenape Tribe

4. Geography/Clime (land & weather)
Hot summers, cold winters, rainy springs
Filled with forests, mountains, lakes, rivers, streams, and the ocean
Wet, swampy, and grassy

5. Relationship with Nature
The Lenape loved nature and cared for it as if it were a member of their family
They believed the spirits lived in nature (think back to the song, “Colors of the Wind”)
They depended on nature to survive and meet their needs, and only took what they needed

6. Meeting Basic Needs 4 basic needs Food Water Shelter Clothing
*To meet these needs, the Lenape relied on natural resources (things found in nature) and everyone in the tribe had different jobs (roles)*

7. This image shows what it looked like where the Lenape lived

8. Meeting Basic Needs
Food  hunting, trapping, fishing, planting gardens, gathering fruits
Shelter  used bark of trees to build wigwams and long houses
Clothing  animal skin

9. The settlers came…
People from Europe (settlers) began to come to the land the Lenape lived on, forcing the Lenape to live somewhere else
These settlers wanted to live on the land and take more than what they needed from nature (ex: killing animals for fur)
This is something the Lenape disagreed with
*major cause of conflict: LAND/treatment of nature*
