The Ramapough (or Ramapo) Mountain Indians, commonly known by the pejorative name "Jackson Whites", are a group of approximatly 3000 individuals living around the Ramapo Mountains of Northern New Jersey and Southern New York State. The center of their community is a small mountain called Stag Hill.
Ethnically they are the descendants of the Lenape, with a mixture of African from the freed slaves of the Hudson River Valley, Tuscarora, Dutch and various other caucasians.
Traditionally they spoke 'Jersey Dutch'; a mix of Dutch, English and Algonquian.
