Formerly called
Eastern Lenape Nation[4]

The Lenape Nation of Pennsylvania (LNPA) is one of more than a dozen cultural heritage organizations of individuals who identify as descendants of the Lenape people, also known as Lenni-Lenape or Delaware people.[5] They are based in Easton, Pennsylvania.[3][6]

Status

The Lenape Nation of Pennsylvania is an unrecognized tribe.[4] Despite having the word nation in its name, the organization is neither a federally recognized tribe[7] nor a state-recognized tribe.[8][9] Pennsylvania has no federally recognized or state-recognized tribes.[9]

Bill "Whippoorwill" Thompson founded the group in 1998 as the Eastern Lenape Nation.[4]

LNPA Chief of Education and Tribal Storykeeper[10] Adam "Waterbear" DePaul said, "We were quite successful in that endeavor of hiding, and identifying and passing ourselves off as white."[9] He says the tribe is trying to achieve state recognition, but it does not qualify for federal recognition.[9]

Canadian-American linguist K. David Harrison, who partnered with the LNPA on language classes, writes: “some Lenape stayed behind, hid, blended in, intermarried, or assimilated. Remaining in the traditional homeland of the Delaware Valley, their descendants also claim Lenape bloodlines.”[11]

Journalist Samantha Spengler wrote: "Whether or not Lenape people continued to live covertly in Pennsylvania, it’s undisputed that there was no continuous tribal entity in the region."[4] There are three federally recognized Lenape tribes in the United States and two in Canada.[4]

The organization is actively lobbying the Pennsylvania legislature for state recognition.[12]

Nonprofit

In 1996[2] and again in 2001, the Lenape Nation of Pennsylvania formed The Lenape Nation, Inc., aka The Lenape Nation of Pa., Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, based in Easton, Pennsylvania.[3]

Its current administration is:

  • President: Ann Dapice[2]
  • Vice President: Richard Welker[2]
  • Treasurer: Maurice DeMund (2022)[1]
  • Assistant Treasurer: Perry Power (2022)[1]
  • Secretary: Barbara Michalski[2]

Maurice C. DeMund served as president[3][1] until April 2022.[2] The group has also been based in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania.[1]

In 2021, the Claneil Foundation gave them $10,000; PayPal Giving Fund donated $7,646; and the AmazonSmile Foundation gave them $481.[1]

Activities

The Lenape Nation of Pennsylvania operates a cultural center in Easton, Pennsylvania.[13] They host an annual powwow at Mauch Chunk Lake Park in present-day Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania.[14] Once every four years, they host Rising Nation River Journey along the Delaware River.[9] They also created the Lenape Nation Scholarship Fund.[3]

LNPA member Shelley DePaul and Theodore Fernald launched a Lenape language class at Swarthmore College in Swarthmore, Pennsylvania, beginning in 2009.[11]

The Unitarian Congregation, a church in West Chester, Pennsylvania, decided to pay reparations to the Lenape Nation of Pennsylvania.[12]
