Nanticoke & Lenape Survival Through Strategic Identity: The Tribal Underground

Описание: They were classified as "mulatto," "negro," and "Moor"—everything except what they actually were: sovereign indigenous peoples fighting like hell to maintain their identity. The untold saga of America's invisible tribes unfolds in the marshy shadowlands of Delaware and South Jersey, where the Nanticoke, Lenape, and so-called "Moors" have waged a centuries-long battle against erasure. This isn't some sanitized textbook history—it's a raw chronicle of communities that refused to disappear despite relentless colonial machinery designed to grind their identities to dust. These three interconnected peoples, bound by blood, marriage, and shared cultural DNA, maintained their sovereign existence through a byzantine labyrinth of external racial classifications while zealously protecting their authentic internal identities. From Captain John Smith's first Nanticoke encounter in 1608 through the establishment of "Moortown" communities and separate tribal schools, these resilient indigenous networks employed strategic invisibility while simultaneously fighting for recognition. Their story isn't ancient history—it's an ongoing revolution of self-determination that continues through the Confederation of Sovereign Nanticoke-Lenape Tribes today. Forget what you thought you knew about Native American persistence in the Eastern woodlands—this is the frontline report from communities that never surrendered.
