What was the role of the Lenape or Delaware Indian men in society?
While we were still in our homelands in the east, the men had the duty to bring in the game animals, gamebirds, and fish for his family to eat. There were no grocery stores to go buy meat, and hunting was not a fun activity. The man had his family, and perhaps aged parents depending on him. The men also took care of some of the heavier things that needed to be done around the village. Putting up the framework for the house, making dugout canoes, mortars and pestles used to grind corn, bows and arrows for hunting, and similar things. Of course in this day and age the man’s role is much the same as any other man in modern American society.
