The Munsee Delaware Native American language is no longer spoken today, but its legacy lives on in many places in the Northeast, including the island of Manhattan. Before the New York City borough became a part of the United States, Manhattan was a forest. To the local Delaware people, it was simply a place to gather timber for making bows and arrows.
The correct answer to this quiz is Bows and arrows.
