Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
The importance of this well-researched work lies in its recording of the Lenap'e legends, which have been gathered and presented here in their entirety for the first time. In the title, the author, a chief of the Lenap'e Nation, refers to the fact that the Lenap'e are viewed as the grandfathers of the Algonquins. The legends show how Nanapush, the grandfather of all beings, created the earth upon the back of a turtle; how the Lenap'e people settled along the Eastern coast of the United States; and the value of tobacco and the crow, which brought fire to earth. H'itakonanu'laxk reveals how the Lenap'e storytellers were revered as bringers of good luck as they traveled from one settlement to the next to tell their tales. A glossary and a pronunciation guide are included. Recommended for Native American collections.
