Henry Jacobs Falkinburg and the native Americans

Henry Jacobs Falkinburg was fluent in the Lenni Lenape the native language of the indians in the region.

From http://www.native-languages.org/lenape.htm

"History: Indian oral traditions call the Lenape homeland the original birthplace of the Algonquian tribes, and the Lenape tribe was called "grandfather" by other Algonquian Indian nations on account of this. However, the "walum olum," purported to be a pictographic history of the Lenape people, begins with the Lenapes migrating south from Labrador. Whichever version is correct, by the time of European colonization, the Lenape Indians had been settled in the Delaware River area for centuries. But the Lenapes, like many Native Americans, were decimated by European diseases, and the survivors were driven west by first British and then American expansion. Most Lenape Indians were eventually forced to relocate to Oklahoma in the 1860's, where they entered an uneasy union with the Cherokee Nation and regained independent tribal status only in 1996. Other Lenape bands remained scattered in their own traditional lands or along the westward routes, where their descendents still live today. "
