What other Native Americans did the Munsee Indian tribe interact with?
The Munsee Indians were close relatives of the Lenape and Nanticoke Indians. These tribes were never united into a single confederacy, but they all considered themselves Delaware Indians. The Delaware tribes traded regularly with all the other New England Indians, especially the Wampanoag and Mohicans, and they often fought with the powerful Iroquois Confederacy. What kinds of stories do the Munsees tell? Storytelling was very important to the Munsee Indian culture. Traditional Munsee legends and fairy tales are very similar to the Lenape ones, although in modern times Munsee storytellers also tell Mahican and Iroquois tales. Here’s one typical legend about how the crow got black feathers. What about Munsee religion?
