In these pages, Lenni-Le­nape, Lenope, Delawares, Wa­panachki, and Mo­hi­cans, all mean the same peo­ple, or tribes of the same stock. The Mengwe, the Maquas, the Min­goes, and the Iro­quois, though not all strictly the same, are iden­ti­fied fre­quently by the speak­ers, be­ing po­lit­i­cally con­fed­er­ated and op­posed to those just named. Mingo was a term of pe­cu­liar re­proach, as were Mengwe and Maqua in a less de­gree.
