" The Lenape are rulers of their own hills, " returned the other a little haughtily.

迷人历史
Attitudes towards the Native Americans quickly changed. In the “Walking Purchase of 1737, ” a group of Lenape had agreed to sell some land along the Delaware River.
In 1755 the Lenape slaughtered settlers in the Penn’s Creek massacre. As a result, many non-violent Quakers in the legislature renounced their positions, and war erupted in Pennsylvania.
The Lenape (/ləˈnɑːpi/) are a Native American tribe and First Nations band government. They are also called Delaware Indians and their historical territory included present day New Jersey, along the Delaware River watershed, western Long Island and the Lower Hudson Valley.
