What Indians were native to New Jersey?
The northern part of what is now New Jersey was occupied by the Minisink or Munsee tribe; the central and south-east part was home to the Unami tribe and the south-west part was occupied by the Unalachtigo tribe. Collectively these tribes are known as Leni Lenape or Delawares. Each tribe was divided into small bands including the Acquackanonk, Hackensack, Munsee, Kechemeche, Nanticoke, Navesink, Pompton, Ramapough, Rumachenanck and Tappan. Some historians count each of these bands as tribes in their own right, since they were entirely self-governing and made decisions without reference to any other parts of the Delaware group.
When did Nova Scotia born?
Two groups of Algonquian-speaking indigenous peoples, the Abnaki and the Micmac, were in Nova Scotia when the first Europeans arrived. Vikings may have been the first Europeans to explore Nova Scotia, but the first recorded exploration was made in 1497 by English explorer John Cabot. French claims were established by Giovanni da Verrazzano in 1524 and by Jacques Cartier ten years later. In 1604 Pierre du Guast sieur de Monts, Samuel de Champlain, and Baron de Poutrincourt established a colony at Port Royal, but in 1607 the colony was abandoned. Poutrincourt returned in 1610 and established the first successful settlement of Europeans in what is now Canada. In 1621 King James I of England changed the area's name from Acadia to Nova Scotia.
