Scope note
Culture of an Algonquian tribe that was historically considered to be a part of the Delaware, or Lenape, although they lived separately from the Delaware nation for most of their existence. Some scholars argue that the Munsee should not be considered Delaware because of some stark differences in dialect. The United States referred to the Munsees as a separate tribe in the Treaty of Fort Industry.
