Lenape people from whom a New Jersey river gets its name

RARITAN

This Native American tribe once inhabited areas along the river that now bears their name, which flows through central New Jersey near New Brunswick.

The Lenape were a Native American tribe native to the New Jersey area, and their language gave names to many local landmarks. The Raritan people were a subgroup of the Lenape, and their name was later used for the Raritan River in central New Jersey. The clue points directly to this connection, with no wordplay—just a straightforward reference to the tribe linked to the river’s name.
