  According to the University of Delaware, the Lenape Language
  Project is at the Delaware Tribal Headquarters in Bartlesville,
  Oklahoma. There is information on this project on the web.
  Below is a clip from a page "Ironman Triathlon for Delaware
  Language".

  What will be done with the money donated? - The Lenape
  Language Project's primary goal is to produce a multimedia
  dictionary. The entries will include: the word spelled in the
  accepted Lenape orthography, a phonetic rendition, part of
  speech, use in sample sentence(s), a sound file of the word
  being pronounced by a native speaker, and a photograph or
  illustration of the item the word represents. We anticipate this
  project will take 3 to 4 years.

  We have almost 1,000 audio and videotapes of the language
  made with various speakers. A great part of the expense of the
  project will go toward making archival quality copies.
