Religion and Ceremonies of the Lenape is a book written by M. R. Harrington in 1921. The Lenape, also known as the Delaware Indians, were a Native American tribe that inhabited the northeastern United States. The book delves into the religious and ceremonial practices of the Lenape people, providing a detailed account of their beliefs, rituals, and traditions. Harrington draws from various sources, including interviews with Lenape elders and historical accounts, to provide a comprehensive overview of the Lenape religion. He covers topics such as the Lenape concept of the afterlife, their creation myth, and their beliefs about the natural world. He also describes the various ceremonies and rituals that were central to Lenape religious life, including the Green Corn Dance, the Big House Ceremony, and the Midwinter Ceremony.In addition to providing a detailed account of Lenape religion, the book also sheds light on the impact of European colonization on Native American religious practices. Harrington discusses how the Lenape adapted their religious beliefs and practices in response to European influence, and how their traditions were often suppressed or banned by colonial authorities.Overall, Religion and Ceremonies of the Lenape is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Native American religion and culture, as well as the history of European colonization in the Americas.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
