| Bio notes | The Munsee were the Wolf subtribe or clan of the larger Lenape tribe; considered the most warlike of the group, they often assumed leadership in war councils. The Munsee lived in the Minisink Valley with territory in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, and were among the earliest tribes exposed to European contact. The infamous Walking Purchase (1740) caused their temporary relocation to the Susquehanna region before eventual incorporation into the main Lenape Tribe on Ohio River. |
