The Lenni Lenape Indians travelled to America almost 40,000 years ago on an isthmus connecting Asia and Alaska called Beringia. Beringia is now covered in water and is called the Bering Strait.

The Lenape, or Delaware Indians, lived in an area they called "Lenapehoking", which meant "Land of the Lenape." Their land included all of what is now New Jersey, eastern Pennsylvania, southeastern New York State, Northern Delaware and a small part of southeastern Connecticut. When settlers arrived from Europe in the early 1600s, some Lenape were living in large villages of two or three hundred people, but most of them lived in small bands of 25 to 30 people.

Ancestors of the Lenape come to New Jersey because they were getting mistreated by the Masters and they're the slaves
