Beginning in 1829 and ending by 1831, the Delaware Tribe moved again, this time to the junction of the Kansas and Missouri rivers in present-day northeastern Kansas (Weslager 1972:357-372; Goddard 1978:224). In the American Revolution, the majority of Delaware leaders initially aided the Americans, but later switched to the British as more and more Delaware were forced westward during the course of the war (Weslager 1972:294-315). In 1854 remnants of the Texas Delawares and other friendly tribes were moved to the Brazos Indian Reservation, established by the United States government on the Brazos River near the site of present Graham. But the Texas reservation system was short-lived. The Delaware Nation, venerated by other American Indians as the grandfather tribe, has survived a long journey. BIBLIOGRAPHY: H. Allen Anderson, The Delaware and Shawnee Indians and the Republic of Texas, 1820–1845, Southwestern Historical Quarterly 94 (October 1990). A smaller group of Delaware, the Western Delaware or Absentee Delaware, took a different route from Missouri to Arkansas and Texas and also ended up in Oklahoma. That tribe is located in Anadarko, Oklahoma. They jointly control land with the Wichita and Caddo. On 6 May 1854, the Delaware gave up to the United States the Western Outlet of their land, keeping a tract ten miles wide and 40 miles up the Kansas River. Under the Treaty of 30 May 1860, each member of the Delaware Nation was assigned eighty acres of land. The two largest groups are the Delaware Nation (Anadarko, Oklahoma) and the Delaware Tribe of Indians (Bartlesville, Oklahoma). The Delaware Tribe of Indians were required to purchase land from the reservation of the Cherokee Nation; they made two payments totaling $438,000. In the 21st century, most Lenape now reside in the US state of Oklahoma, with some communities living also in Wisconsin, Ontario (Canada) and in their traditional homelands. Lenape kinship system has matrilineal clans, that is, children belong to their mother's clan, from which they gain social status and identity. The Delaware Tribe of Indians, sometimes called the Eastern Delaware, based in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, is one of three federally recognized tribes of Delaware Indians in the United States, along with the Delaware Nation based in Anadarko, Oklahoma and the Stockbridge-Munsee Community of Wisconsin. They are headquartered in Bartlesville and have no tribal jurisdictional area. Their housing program covers Washington, Nowata, Rogers, Craig and Part of Tulsa Counties. Their annual tribal economic impact is $2 million. The Delaware Tribe of Indians is located at 170 NE Barbara, in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, 74006. From “Removal and the Cherokee-Delaware Agreement,” in Delaware Tribe in a Cherokee Nation, by Brice Obermeyer. University of Nebraska Press, 2009. Pp. 37-48, 52-58. The Delaware Tribe is one of many contemporary tribes that descend from the Unami-and Munsee-speaking peoples of the Delaware and Hudson River valleys. In the American Revolution, the majority of Delaware leaders initially aided the Americans, but later switched to the British as more and more Delaware were forced westward during the course of the war (Weslager 1972:294-315). Several Kansas Delaware and their families moved into the Cherokee Nation in Indian Territory, that is present Oklahoma, to be near their family members, who had moved to the Cherokee Nation pursuant to the 1866 Treaty. They remained Kansas Delaware and saw no reason to buy citizenship in the Cherokee Nation. On 6 May 1854, the Delaware gave up to the United States the Western Outlet of their land, keeping a tract ten miles wide and 40 miles up the Kansas River. Under the Treaty of 30 May 1860, each member of the Delaware Nation was assigned eighty acres of land. When Kansas Territory opened to white settlement, the Delawares were forced to move one more time to Indian Territory (Oklahoma). Not all tribes moved as a unit. Indian Removal policy often led to divisions within tribes. In 1800 the Potawatomi claimed land in Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana, and Illinois. However, between 1836 and 1841, the tribe was forced to sell these lands and to be removed beyond the Mississippi River. They signed the treaty on the 17th September 1778. Despite the treaty, the Delaware were forced to cede their Eastern lands and moved first to Ohio, later Indiana(Plainfield), Missouri, Kansas, and Indian Territory. The ancestors of the Delaware Nation, following a different migration route, settled in Anadarko. They are headquartered in Bartlesville and have no tribal jurisdictional area. Their housing program covers Washington, Nowata, Rogers, Craig and Part of Tulsa Counties. Their annual tribal economic impact is $2 million. The Delaware Tribe of Indians is located at 170 NE Barbara, in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, 74006.
