Tribes and Bands of New Jersey
The following list of American Indians who have lived in New Jersey has been compiled from Hodge's Handbook of American Indians...[1] and from Swanton's The Indian Tribes of North America[2]. Some may simply be variant spellings for the same tribe.

Records
The majority of records of individuals were those created by the agencies. Some records may be available to tribal members through the tribal headquarters.They were (and are) the local office of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and were charged with maintaining records of the activities of those under their responsibility. Among these records are:
Allotment records
Annuity rolls
Census records
Correspondence
Health records
Reports
School census and records
Vital records
Reservation
From the mid-1800s, the official policy of the United States government toward the American Indian was to confine each tribe to a specific parcel of land called a reservation. Agencies were established on or near each reservation. A government representative, usually called an agent (or superintendent) was assigned to each agency. Their duties included maintaining the peace, making payments to the Native Americans based on the stipulations of the treaties with each tribe, and providing a means of communication between the native population and the federal government.
Sometimes, a single agency had jurisdiction over more than one reservation. And sometimes, if the tribal population and land area required it, an agency may have included sub-agencies.
The boundaries of reservations, over time, have changed. Usually, that means the reservations have been reduced in size. Sometimes, especially during the later policy of "termination," the official status of reservations was ended altogether.
The following list of reservations has been compiled from the National Atlas of the United States of America[4], the Omni Gazetteer of the United States of America[5], and other sources. Those reservations named in bold are current federally-recognized reservations, with their associated agency and tribe(s). Others have historically been associated with the state or are not currently recognized by the federal government.

My boss, the white devil, comes up to me a week ago and tells me, with great fanfare, that I have been selected as the Mid Atlantic's rep for this thing. He's all excited that one of his idiots got chosen out of like 30 other idiots for the region. Asshole probably gets a bonus or some shit. Anyway, I tell him I'm not going. He freaks out a bit and tells me he will give me the entire week off, paid, to go to this thing for two days. I'm still on the fence, so he tells me they have free booze and if you win the national award you get an all expense paid week in Vegas for you and a fuck buddy.
I finally relent. Then yesterday I find out that the Southeast Region has a mildly retarded half black half sri lankan dwarf. Godfuckingdamnit! That simple little dark oreo fucker will win this bitch going away and I will be left with my dick in my hand courtesy of another white sonofabitch. At least I get free booze.
