Nanticoke Lenni-Lenape Tribal Nation

About Nanticoke Lenni-Lenape Tribal Nation

The Nanticoke Lenni-Lenape Tribal Nation is a Native American tribe in New Jersey representing the descendants of the Nanticoke and Lenape people who remained in or returned to their ancestral homeland after periods of forced migration. With a history spanning more than 10,000 years, the Tribal Nation works to preserve its culture, traditions, and identity through membership enrollment, cultural programs, and community outreach.

Through its services and initiatives, the Nanticoke Lenni-Lenape Tribal Nation shares its history, supports its community, and maintains recognition of its continued presence. Its offerings include enrollment opportunities, cultural education, and the Turtle Trading Post, with plans for a future museum that will further highlight and preserve its heritage for future generations.
