Abstract
This brief source, after an introductory page on Delaware culture history, migrational movements and population estimates, deals in almost its entirety with native artistic motifs as used by Indian artists primarily in their beadwork and silk ribbon work. A short paragraph also discusses the introduction of peyote to the Delaware and how it introduced new elements into the native art motifs. Four plates at the end of the text illustrate various designs and symbols.
