Through first-person accounts, Long Journey Home presents the
stories of the Lenape, also known as the Delaware Tribe. These oral
histories, which span the post Civil War era to the present, are
gathered into four sections and tell of personal and tribal events
as they unfold over time and place. The history of the Lenape is
one of forced displacement, from their original tribal home along
the eastern seaboard into Pennsylvania, continuing with a series of
displacements in Ohio, Indiana, Missouri, Kansas, and the Indian
Territory. For the group of Lenape interviewed for this book, home
is now the area around Bartlesville, Oklahoma. The stories of their
long journey have been handed down and remain part of the tribe's
collective memory and bring an unforgettable immediacy to the tale
of the Lenape. Above all they make clear that the history of seven
generations remains very much alive."
