MEDICINE MEN: Pippa first became aware of the Lenape Indians when she lived in a tent for 2 months on an archeology dig in the Delaware Water Gap area of New Jersey. A local college sponsored the excavation under leadership of Dr Herb Kraft. Numerous burial sites were found, as the Lenape (or Delaware) Indians lived thousands of years along the Delaware River. She soon began researching early journals of explorers and white captives. These journals spoke of the mysterious powers of the medicine men and Lenape spirituality.
