Lenape (Delaware) Travel: Foot, Canoe, and Horse

The Lenape (Delaware Indians) of present-day Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware traveled primarily on foot, renowned for endurance across long distances. They used canoes — bark or dugout — on rivers and lakes for efficient water transport. After European contact introduced horses, they adopted them for faster land travel, hunting, and trade. These modes reflected their riverine-territory geography and resourcefulness, adapting to seasons and needs before displacement.
