| Summary | "Religion and Ceremonies of the Lenape" by M. R. Harrington is a scholarly publication that examines the cultural and spiritual practices of the Lenape or Delaware Indians, likely written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the rich pantheon of the Lenape, exploring their beliefs about deities, sacred rituals, and the spiritual significance of natural phenomena. It serves as a comprehensive source for those interested in Indigenous religions and anthropological studies. The opening of the work introduces readers to the comprehensive framework of Lenape religion, detailing their belief in a supreme being and a myriad of spirits, known as "manĭʹtowŭk", who govern various elements of nature. Harrington presents evidence gathered from conversations with contemporary Lenape individuals, highlighting enduring traditions and cultural practices, including the Annual Ceremony. This section sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the pantheon of minor deities and spiritual beliefs, illustrating the interconnectedness of the Lenape people with their environment and the importance of ritual in their society.
