While we know our northern friends may not feel it, in the South, Spring is
here. So we thought we'd share a few of our gardening sites appropriate
for this time of the year. Along with gardening, there's grilling, and getting
ready to diet so that you can fit back into that bathing suit this summer!
Unami One of the principal divisions
of the Delaware, formerly occupying the Pennsylvania side of the Delaware
river, from the junction of the Lehigh southward about the Delaware line.
According to Brinton, many of the New Jersey Delaware were Unami who had
crossed the Delaware to escape the inroads of the
Conestoga, and Ruttenber
classes with this division the Navasink, Raritan, Hackensack, Aquakanonk,
Tappan and Haverstraw, of northern New Jersey. The Unami held
precedence over the other Delaware. Their totem was the turtle (pakoango).
According to Morgan, they were one of the three gentes of the Delaware,
while Brinton says the turtle was the merely the symbol of a
geographic division.
The Unami have sometimes been called the Turtle tribe
of the Delaware.
