ABSTRACT
Looking at the often tragic histories of the two peoples, the Lenape and the Yoeme, one cannot help but be amazed that they still exist today and have preserved their separate identity. There have been many occurrences in these histories which would have made vanishing a plausible consequence; indeed they would have made not-vanishing implausible. Removal, the main focus of this study, probably came closest to eradicating the tribes as such. Yet they are still there, not unchanged and certainly not without scars, but they have not vanished.
