The totems of the Mabicans were the Bear,2 the Wolf, and the Turtle. The Turkey and Turtle tribes occupied the sea-coast and the south-western shore of the Hudson, while the Wolf or Minsi, being much the most warlike of the three, served as a sort of shield to their more peaceful brethren, and watched the movements of the Mengwe or Iroquois. Their territory extended from the Katskill mountains to the head waters of the Delaware and Susquehanna rivers, and was bounded on the east by the Hudson; their council-fire was lighted at Minisink.3 The Turkey tribe joined the Mlnsi on the south somewhere about Stony point. On the west bank of the river, therefore, there were but two totemic Lenape tribes. Above the Minsi came the Mabican totem of the Wolf, and on the east bank the Bear of that nation.
