Delaware: Native Americans

http://delawareinfo.blogspot.com/2006/12/native-americans.html

Tuesday, December 12, 2006. Men's and women's roles. Lenape men were hunters and sometimes went to war to protect their families. Lenape women were farmers and also did most of the child care and cooking. Both genders took part in storytelling, artwork and music, and traditional medicine. In the past, Lenape chiefs were always men, but today a Delaware Indian woman could be chief too. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Colonial arts and crafts. View my complete profile.

Delaware: Clothing

http://delawareinfo.blogspot.com/2006/12/clothing.html

Tuesday, December 12, 2006. Before colonial times in warm weather the only clothing our men wore was a breechcloth and moccasins made of deerskin. Sometimes leggings were added when going into brushy areas, or during colder weather. Nearly all our clothing was deerskin except for some fur robes worn in winter time. Another special item was turkey feather capes worn by both men and women. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Colonial arts and crafts. View my complete profile. Map of colonial Delaware.

Delaware: Housing

http://delawareinfo.blogspot.com/2006/12/housing.html

Tuesday, December 12, 2006. In the 18 century, people did not have the money to buy, or build expensive houses, but wealthy people got their houses built out of brick, or clay. They did not have lots of rooms, but they did have a cellar. In the cellar they kept fruits, and vegetables at a cool temperature. The window frames had leather hinges so that they could close the windows. Rugs were sometimes used for window coverings or bed coverings. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
