The first section contains an overview of early history of the state and region. The second section contains an A to Z dictionary of tribal articles and biographies of noteworthy Native Americans that have contributed to the history of Delaware. Indians of Delaware details the history, biographies and treaties of Native American tribes living in Delaware and the surrounding regions.
