The Nanticoke Lenni-Lenape Tribal Nation, which claims its history has been rewritten in New Jersey in recent years, is a recognized American Indian tribe, a state appeals court has ruled.

It claimed that decision would harm its ability to conduct business and receive government grants and contracts.
