  • A New Jersey Haven for Some Acculturated Lenape of Pennsylvania During the Indian Wars of the 1760S
    322- A New Jersey Haven for Some Acculturated Lenape of Pennsylvania During the Indian Wars of the 1760s Marshall Joseph Becker West Chester University INTRODUCTION Accounts of Indian depredations are as old as the colonization of the New World, but examples of concerted assistance to Native Americans are few. Particu- larly uncommon are cases in which whites extended aid to Native Americans dur- ing periods when violent conflicts were ongoing and threatening large areas of the moving frontier. Two important examples of help being extended by the citizens of Pennsyl- vania and NewJersey to Native Americans of varied backgrounds who were fleeing from the trouble-wracked Pennsylvania colony took place during the period of the bitter Indian wars of the 1760s. The less successful example, the thwarted flight of the Moravian converts from the Forks of Delaware in Pennsylvania and their attempted passage through New Jersey, is summarized here in the appendices. The second and more successful case involved a little known cohort of Lenape from Chester County, Pennsylvania. These people had separated from their native kin by the 1730s and taken up permanent residence among colonial farmers. Dur- ing the time of turmoil for Pennsylvanians of Indian origin in the 1760s, this group of Lenape lived for seven years among the citizens of NewJersey. These cases shed light on the process of acculturation of Native American peoples in the colonies and also on the degree to which officials of the Jersey colony created a relatively secure environment for all the people of this area. They also provide insights into differences among various Native American groups as well as between traditionalists and acculturated members of the same group.' ANTI-NATIVE SENTIMENT IN THE 1760S The common English name for the Seven Years War (1755-1763), the "French and Indian War," reflects the ethnic alignments and generalized prejudices reflected in the New World manifestations of this conflict.

  • LENAPE VILLAGES of DELAWARE COUNTY By: Chris Flook
    LENAPE VILLAGES OF DELAWARE COUNTY By: Chris Flook After the signing of the Treaty of Greenville in 1795, many bands of Lenape (Delaware) Native Americans found themselves without a place to live. During the previous 200 years, the Lenape had been pushed west from their ancestral homelands in what we now call the Hudson and Delaware river valleys ­ first into the Pennsylvania Colony in the mid­1700s and then into the Ohio Country around the time of the American Revolution. After the Revolution, many Natives living in what the new American government quickly carved out to be the Northwest Territory, were alarmed of the growing encroachment from white settlers. In response, numerous Native groups across the territory formed the pan­tribal Western Confederacy in an attempt to block white settlement and to retain Native territory. The Western Confederacy consisted of warriors from approximately forty different tribes, although in many cases, an entire tribe wasn’t involved, demonstrating the complexity and decentralized nature of Native American political alliances at this time. Several war chiefs led the Western Confederacy’s military efforts including the Miami chief Mihšihkinaahkwa (Little Turtle), the Shawnee chief Weyapiersenwah (Blue Jacket), the Ottawa chief Egushawa, and the Lenape chief Buckongahelas. The Western Confederacy delivered a series of stunning victories over American forces in 1790 and 1791 including the defeat of Colonel Hardin’s forces at the Battle of Heller’s Corner on October 19, 1790; Hartshorn’s Defeat on the following day; and the Battle of Pumpkin Fields on October 21. On November 4 1791, the forces of the territorial governor General Arthur St.

BACKGROUND 1. The Three Fires According to tradition, long before the Europeans came to North America, the Odawa (which was anglicized as Ottawa) and their kin the Ojibwa and Potawatomi migrated from the Northern Atlan- tic coast. The tribes formed an alliance known as the "Three Fires". 79-006 The Ottawa/Odawa settled on the eastern shore of Lake Huron at what are now called the Bruce Peninsula and Manitoulin Island. In 1615, the Ottawa/Odawa formed a fur trading alliance with the French.

  • Early Images of Lenape People
    EARLY IMAGES OF LENAPE PEOPLE Note: We will be adding additional images and information in the future. Lenape unloading a canoe at a village. The Indians who lived here call themselves Lenape. The land formerly occupied by all of these native people is now New Jersey Eastern New York State Western Long Island eastern Pennsylvania and northern Delaware. It is also known as Lenapehòking - the land of the Lenape. Drawing by Herbert and John Kraft This drawing shows Lenape people when one of the first Europeans along the East Coast saw the Indians in 1524. Their clothing was simple - the men were breechcloth and moccasins, with a robe to cover themselves in cold weather. Women had knee length skirts and wore fur robes in winter, or a beautiful mantel made out from turkey feathers. Ornaments are bone, shell and wampum, and were sometimes worn on necklaces, or and wrists and ankles. Giovanni da Verrazano wrote, “These people are the most beautiful and have the most civil customs that we have found on this voyage. They Drawing by Herbert and John Kraft are taller than we are, they are a bronze color, some tending more towards whiteness, others a tawny color; the face is clean cut, the hair is long, and their manner is sweet and gentle, very much like that of the ancients. They have all the proportions belonging to any well-built men. Their women are just as shapely and beautiful; very gracious, of attractive manner and pleasant appearance.” This illustration shows the Dutch, Swedish, and English explorers, settlers and traders who changed the lives the Indians in many ways.

McNaughton (b. 1892) was born in Franklin, Indiana, but moved to Muncie with his family four years later. He graduated from Muncie High School, and attended Muncie Normal School (later Ball State University). He had some experience on newspapers, first as a stringer on the Muncie Star, then (after 1913) on the staff of the Toledo (Ohio) Times. He then spent a few years in advertising, punctuated by brief military service during World War I. Most of his business career was with Indiana Steel and Wire Company, from which he retired in 1963. After his retirement, McNaughton spent a good deal of time writing. Research into family history led him into the history of the Indian wars of the late eighteenth century. This led in turn to the production of the two unpublished manuscripts which constitute this collection.
