More on the Nanticoke Lenni-Lenape Tribal Nation
The Nanticoke Lenni-Lenape Tribal Nation is made up by the descendants of families and tribes from the New Jersey Delaware Bay area who stayed through the mass relocation of American Indians out west. They are the original people of this place and they are still very much here!

Borderline Citizens: The United States, Puerto Rico, and the Politics of Colonial Migration by Robert McGreevey
Borderline Citizens explores the intersection of U.S. colonial power and Puerto Rican migration. Robert C. McGreevey examines a series of confrontations in the early decades of the twentieth century between colonial migrants seeking work and citizenship in the metropole and various groups—employers, colonial officials, court officers, and labor leaders—policing the borders of the U.S. economy and polity. Borderline Citizens deftly shows the dynamic and contested meaning of American citizenship.
