“Through first-person accounts, Long Journey Home presents the stories of the Lenape, also known as the Delaware Tribe. These oral histories, which span post-Civil War era to the present, are gathered into four sections and tell of personal and tribal events as they unfold over time and place.”

“By publishing this valuable collection of oral histories of the Delaware Indians, [Indiana University Press] has helped recover much of these Indians' history since their days in Kansas Territory in the 1850s. The book [is] nicely illustrated and carefully edited by Brown and Kohn . . . Outstanding. . . . Highly recommended.”

“The construction of the book is durable and beautifully crafted. The text is crisp and complimented by more than ninety color images. Intended as a fitting supplement to the text, the images are equally engaging and prove compelling in their own right. Winter 2008-09”

“For scholars this work is a tantalizing sampling of Indian oral histories that continue to be underutilized. for the general reader the stories shared by the Delaware people are lessons in the resilience and tenacity of a community.”

“The interviews come to life alongside ample color photographs of tribal customs, traditions and regular life.”

“The stories contained in these pages have many things to tell, the pride of a people, their personal histories, their determination to remain who they were and are as a people. . . . Sometimes we as individuals take our heritage for granted and do not learn the lessons of history. The study of our heritage can truly tell us why we are who we are today.”
