Appearance
Lenape is a light yellow steed with brown socks. Their messy mane and tail are black, with feather decorations. They also wear a decorative red blanket with a blue and white stripe, and a red harness decorated with feathers. On their hip, there is an intricate light blue painted marking.
The original artwork for Lenape's card features a totem pole in the background that was removed in the final product. This is most likely because totem poles are not used by the Lenape Nation, rather, they are used by nations of the Pacific Northwest.[1]
Personality
Lenape loves their friends as they are. They don't expect them to be something they are not, and they don't pressure them to change.[2]
Relationships
Deer
Lenape has a special connection with the deer.
The Name Game
“The tribe this steed is based on resided in present-day New Jersey, and along the Delaware River in Pennsylvania, and the lower Hudson Valley region of New York. Renamed the Delaware Indians by European settlers, their name means “common people.”
Lenape moved about seasonally, hunting small game, similar in culture to the Huron, the Iroquois and other hunter/gatherer cultures in the Northeast. They planted corn and beans on a major scale. The Lenape practiced the Green Corn Dance. They traded with Europeans once settlers began arriving on the North American continent.
Clan divisions were important to the Lenape and men were expected to marry only outside the clan. Today the Lenape have no federal recognition, though they have organizations in Colorado, Delaware, Kansas, New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Ontario Canada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.”[3]
Inspirational Message
“Ne force pas les autres à changer. Accepte chacun tel qu’il est.”
“Dränge andere nicht zur Veränderung. Liebe sie wie sie sind.”
“Non spignere gli altri a cambiare. Apprezzali per come sono.”
