The Lenape Indian Tribe of Delaware Inc. is a state-recognized tribe and non-profit organization in the US state of Delaware. It is not a federally recognized American Indian tribe.

History

The organization was given official recognition in Delaware on August 3rd, 2016. The group has around 225 members.

In 2021, the organization acquired 11 acres of land near Fork Branch Nature Preserve, with the assistance of the State of Delaware, a private financier, and an environmentalist group. A small schoolhouse that the ancestors of group members had once attended formerly existed on property near the acquired land.
