As the first state to ratify the United States Constitution, Delaware rightfully earned its nickname of "First State." Though small in size, it is a treasure trove of history (Fort Delaware), inventions (the Victrola), and garden wonders (Winterthur). State symbols such as the Blue Hen Chicken and peach blossom speak to the character and traditions that formed the state.Accelerated Reader AR

On the turtle's back : stories the Lenape told their grandchildren / by Townsend, Camilla,1965-editor.(CARDINAL)658128; Michael, Nicky Kay,editor.(CARDINAL)888516;
Includes bibliographical references and index."The Lenape (or Delaware) people were pushed out of the New Jersey region in colonial times, embarking on a two-hundred year odyssey that eventually brought them to Indian Territory, soon to be the State of Oklahoma. On the Turtle's Back: Stories the Lenape Told Their Grandchildren presents the stories that they decided to write down in the early 1900s, when their language was still fully vibrant, but they were beginning to fear for the future. Two Delaware families, Charles and Susan Elkhair and Julius and Minnie Fouts, together with their children, invited an anthropologist into their living rooms, and they began to talk. These families told stories of creation, of great heroes, and of people who needed to learn a lesson or two. In doing this, they allowed future generations into their imaginative and metaphorical story world, elements of which had existed for centuries. The book they hoped for wasn't published in their time, but their efforts to preserve their culture were nevertheless fruitful: they made this book possible. The second part of this volume includes interviews with elders at the end of the twentieth century, people who had been children when the stories were told. They still remembered the old Lenape story world, as do the Delaware of today"--

When John Cameron Butler was a child, he was captured in a raid on the Pennsylvania frontier and adopted by the great warrior Cuyloga. Renamed True Son, he came to think of himself as fully Indian. But eleven years later his tribe, the Lenni Lenape, has signed a treaty with the white men and agreed to return their captives, including fifteen year old True Son. Now he must go back to the family he has forgotten, whose language is no longer his, and whose ways of dress and behavior are as strange to him as the ways of the forest are to them.Accelerated Reader AR
