To the northward of thefe there was another powerful nation which occupied the country from the head of the Chefa- peak-bay up to the Kittatinney mountain, and as far eaftward as Connefticut river, comprehending that part of New-York which hes between the Highlands and the ocean, all the ftate of New-Jerfey, that part of Pennfylvania which is watered, below the range of the Kittatinney mountains, by the rivers or ftreams falling into the Delaware, and the county of Newcaftle in the ftate of Delaware, as far as Duck creek. It is to be ob- ferved, that the nations of Indians diftin- guifhed their countries one from ano- ther by natural boundaries, fuch as ranges of mountains or ftreams of water. But as the heads of rivers frequently interlock, or approach near to each other, as thofe who live upon a ftream claim the country watered by it, they often encroached on each other, and this is a conftant fource of war between the different nations. The nation occupying the tradl of country laft defcribed, called themfelves Lenopi. The French writers call them Loups; and among the Englifli they are now commonly called Delawares. This nation or confederacy confifted of five tribes, who all fpoke one language, i. The Chihohocki, who dwelt on the weft fide of the river now called Delaware, a name which it took from Lord De la War, who put into it on his paflage from Virginia in the year , but which by the Indians was called Chihohocki. 2. The Wanami, who inhabit the country cal- led New-Jerfey, from the Rariton to the fea. 3. The Munfey, who dwelt on the upper ftreams of the Delaware, from the Kittatinney mountains down to the Lehigh or weftern branch of the Delaware. 4. The Wabinga, who are fometimes called River Indians, fometimes Mohickanders, and who had their dwelling between the weft branch of Delaware and Hudfon's river, from the Kittatinney ridge down to the Rariton: and 5. The Mahiccon, or Mahattan, who occupied Statan Ifland, York Ifland (which from its being the principal feat of their refidence was formerly called Mahatton) Long-liland and that part of [ 395 1 New-York and Connedicut which lies be- tween Hudfon and Connefticut rivers, from the highland, which is a continuation of the Kittatinney ridge down to
