Pam has at least one American Indian ancestor, Paul has no traceable American Indian heritage. Both have been adopted by other Lenapé people and are proud to embrace that culture.</p> <p>Because Pam's American Indian heritage is through the women of her mother's family, by Eastern Woodlands tradition she would be a "full-blood". In an older time, when Paul married her, he would have been joined to her People. Their adoption by another Lenapé would also make them "full-bloods" by tradition. But these things are only of value to those who honor such traditions, and such traditions are no longer considered valid in these modern times.</p>  <p>Pam and Paul live in western Pennsylvania [USA]. They have Lenapé friends and acquaintances among many groups, including the Eastern Delaware Nations, the Turtle Island Chatauqua, the Eastern Lenapé Nations, the Big Horn Lenapé Nation and the Thunder Mountain Lenapé Nation.</p> <p>The purpose of this web site is to provide factual information about the Lenapé people and culture. The information presented here is accurate to the best of our knowledge, as we learn from reference material and as we are taught by others. We welcome you and hope you find that which you seek.</p> <img align="top" src="featherl.gif" alt="link icon" height="38" width="40" /><a href="delaware.html">What's a Lenapé?</a><br /> <img align="top" src="featherl.gif" alt="link icon" height="38" width="40" /><a href="culture.html">Lenapé Culture</a><br /> <img align="top" src="featherl.gif" alt="link icon" height="38" width="40" /><a href="story.html">Lenapé Stories</a><br /> <img align="top" src="featherl.gif" alt="link icon" height="38" width="40" /><a href="redrcrd.html">The Walam Olum [Red Record]</a><br /> <img align="top" src="featherl.gif" alt="link icon" height="38" width="40" /><a href="whitelie.html">Big White Lies</a><br /> <img align="top" src="featherl.gif" alt="link icon" height="38" width="40" /><a href="opinion.html">Opinions</a><br /> <img align="top" src="featherl.gif" alt="link icon" height="38" width="40" /><a href="genealogy.html">Indian Genealogy Resources</a><br /> <img align="top" src="featherl.gif" alt="link icon" height="38" width="40" /><a href="bibliography.html">A Selected Bibliography</a><br /> <img align="top" src="featherl.gif" alt="link icon" height="38" width="40" /><a href="nalinks.html">Other American Indian Sites</a><br /> <img align="top" src="featherl.gif" alt="link icon" height="38" width="40" /><a href="http://us.geocities.yahoo.com/gb/view?member=shabak_waxtju"> View Our Guestbook</a><br /> <br /> <center><img src="tribar.gif" alt="separator bar" /></center> <p>Please report <a href="mailto:webmaster@lenapewak.com">broken links</a></p> <p>Send questions or comments to <a href="mailto:webmaster@lenapewak.com">webmaster@lenapewak.com</a> or sign the <a href="http://us.geocities.yahoo.com/gb/sign?member=shabak_waxtju"> Laurel Ridge People Guestbook</a></p> <hr /> <center>Since October 24, 1999 this site has been visted <img src="http://visit.geocities.com/counter.gif" alt="Counter" /> times<br /> </center> <center>  <form method="get" action="http://search.atomz.com/search/"> <input size="25" name="sp-q" /><br /> <input type="submit" value="Search This Site" /><input type="hidden" name="sp-a" value="0004056f-sp00000000" /></form> </center> <center><table summary="Native American Ring" border=4 cellspacing=1 cellpadding=0><tr><td> <a href="http://geocities.datacellar.net/RainForest/Vines/2063/nativesring.html" TARGET=_top> <img src="1warrior.jpg" alt="warrior" border=0 width=146 height=184 align=left alt="Native American Ring"></a> </td><td><font size=-1 face="comic sans ms"> <center> This <a href="http://geocities.datacellar.net/RainForest/Vines/2063/nativesring.html" TARGET=_top>Native American Ring</a> site owned by <a href="mailto:shabak_waxtju@hotpop.com">Laurel Ridge Lenape'wak</a>. <br> [ <a href="http://www.webring.org/cgi-bin/webring?ring=natam;id=872;next">Next</a> | <a href="http://www.webring.org/cgi-bin/webring?ring=natam;id=872;next5">Next 5 Sites</a> | <a href="http://www.webring.org/cgi-bin/webring?ring=natam;random">Random Site</a> | <a href="http://www.webring.org/cgi-bin/webring?ring=natam;list">List Sites</a> ]<br> <BR> Want to join the<br>Native American Ring?<br>Click here for <a href="http://geocities.datacellar.net/RainForest/Vines/2063/nativesring.html" TARGET=_top>info.</a> </center></font> </td></tr></table> </center> </center> <p><font size="2">This site is best viewed with Netscape 2.0 or higher or Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0 or higher at an 800x600 or higher resolution.<</p> <p>Background music performed by <a href="http://www.teleport.com/~rnbowlkr/">Arlie Neskahi</a>, used by permission</p></font> <embed src="chipmunk.wav" hidden="true" autostart="true" loop="10" /> <center> <p>This site was last updated March 30, 2007</p> </center> <br /> </body>
