Lenape vs Delaware
Cara
Actually, I live in Maryland, not Delaware.
Many of us prefer to use the Indian Word Lenape or Lenni Lenape
("We the People") as opposed to the English, 'Delaware.'
Although many do call themselves Delaware, the name was stuck on us from Lord Del A Warr, who along with being a despot who was sent back to England never visited this region.
Yet, a State, river and Indian Nation were named for him.
Pretty cat, by the way. Looks a little like one of my three except mine is gray.
