Delaware lies on a small niche of the Eastern American border. Henry Hudson is credited with the discovery of Massachusetts in 1609. Henry Hudson was working for the Dutch East India Company and he discovered the Delaware Bay and River, which allowed easily accessible routes for trade.

I have never really taken the time to think about what culture I am a part of. For some individuals it is easy for them to say "Oh, I 'm Indian and this is what my family does for holidays." I suppose I have always just considered myself to a white American individual. I identify most closely to the rural American way of life/culture. I would say that I also identify with my family culture very strongly. While that latter two might be micro cultures, they are still something I identify with…

hired one of their musician customer for part-time job in the store to help customers. But Peter still faced difficulty in producing enough instruments because that employee could not help him in the production process as he was not an experienced woodworking worker.

But more than that, John was an accomplished handyman that encompassed the mastering of the principal building trades. Plumbing, electrical, stone and woodworking were just a few of them. He seemed to be in heaven here on the reservation, where he could apply his skills each day. He was like a little boy in a sandbox here, never missing the chance to show Scuba Bill his collection of trenchers, bulldozers…

In my freshmen year of high school I tried to be a rapper, because my cousin was also trying to become one. It didn’t turn out too well, I’m just glad I didn’t decide to show anyone any of the stuff I wrote. After that I wanted to be a so called “band kid.” I actually really liked learning to play music. I took three semesters of guitar and chorus, and one semester of piano. I really like to sing now, but I’m not great at it. If I could chose to have any talent in the world it would probably be…
