AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This article, from the Handbook of North American Indians, Vol. 15, is a comprehensive survey of Delaware ethnography from the seventeenth century to the 1970s. The autor describes the westward movement of the Delaware from the east coast of the United States through the present states of Indiana, Ohio, Kansas, Texas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and to Ontario, Canada. The summary is very compactly written and covers a wide range of topics such as political organization, subsistence, technology, clothing and adornment, structures, life cycle events, religion, warfare, and culture contacts with other societies. This document provides an excellent general background for a more intensive study of Delaware ethnography.
