Description
A majority of Delaware Indians are Native Americans that love the land and are proud of their ancestry. Many of them no-longer reside on the grounds their ancestors once cherished. At this web site I would like to share historical facts passed down through the generations pertaining to these great people.
To walk the grounds that many Delaware,Lenni Lenape once called home...Kreidersville, Pennsylvania along the Hokendauqua" Creek. Hokendauqua(Hachiundochure)"means "searching for food".The walkers of the Walking Purchase were said to have spent their first night at the Hockendauqua Creek. The village was called "Hockyondocquay". As I walk along the banks of the Creek and swim in its mystifying waters I feel a connection to the spirits of our ancestors,the Delaware. Why am I here enjoying their lands when so many Delaware aren't?
Stories passed down through the generations state that my great great grandmother was a Delaware. I believe she was since I feel a strong connection to Native Americans and their beliefs, customs,and traditions. I have chosen my sacred rock and taken it to the waters as my ancestors did generations ago.
