The Delaware Nation runs its own casino, Gold River Bingo and Casino and there are four new casinos scheduled to be built from 2005 to 2007 as well as brand new main complex, located south of the current one in the same highway. The Lënape people were divided into three dialectal divisions, which later became the basis for the three Clans of the Lënape. These divisions were the Monsi (Munsee) or Wolf, the Unami or Turtle, and the Unilactigo or Turkey. The proper names for the clans as they now exist are ''Tùkwsit'' (Wolf Clan), ''Pùkuwànko'' (Turtle Clan), and ''Pële'' (Turkey Clan). The Delaware Nation is the ''Pùkuwànko'' (Turtle Clan). The Delaware Nation was the first Indian nation to enter into a treaty with the newly formed government of the United States ; The Treaty was signed on September 17 , 1778 . EXTERNAL LINKS |
