INTRODUCTION

.

Today I am reflecting on two decades of research about places I call LENAPE LANDS.

.

Recently I summarized what I think are facts about the LENAPE LANDS.  Here are those facts:

.

We learned a colonial history, which is not accurate.

We should teach a more accurate paradigm.

.

1. There was a Pan-North Atlantic Culture, which spoke Old Norse, 4,500  ya.

.

2. In the 11 to the 15th centuries, the Lenape composed a history, which still exists.

.

3. The Catholic religion came to North America during the 12th century.

.

4. The Catholics in America called themselves Lenape, which means “Abide with the pure.”

.

5.  The Lenape History tells about a migration from Greenland to New Jersey, via the Dakotas

.

6. When the English invaded, most people in eastern North America spoke Old Norse.

.

7. Colonial leaders knew the LENAPE spoke Old Norse and had archaic Christian traditions.

.

8. The Protestants, who came to America, suppressed Lenape by omitting them from the printing presses.

.

I am writing this history to encourage educators to challenge their students to verify the fact that when the English invaded, most Americans were Catholics, who spoke Old Norse.  If educators do nothing, early history in America will remain suppressed.

.

This will be a story about my research about the Lenape history.  The LENAPE HISTORY appears to have been compiled about the time of the Little Ice Age.  But the LENAPE HISTORIANS, who compiled the LENAPE History,  appear to have started the LENAPE History about “the lands we left behind,” Which is Greenland.
