  • 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.

  • Treaties of St Marys
    Anatomy of The 1818 Treaties of St. Marys; Their Impact on the Miami, Delaware, New York Tribes and Indiana By A. Andrew Olson III, December 20, 2011; © A A Olson, 2011 With the end of the American Revolution and subsequent signing of the Northwest Ordinance in 1787, a flood of pioneer families streamed across the Appalachian Mountains to the newly organizing lands just beyond to the West. Fledgling territorial government officials, driven in part by a tidal wave of white migration, sought increasing amounts of land from Native Tribes – some of which had already been imposed upon with regularity by the new American Nation. As populations in the eastern portions of the Northwest Territory reached threshold levels, the new states of Ohio and Indiana had been admitted into the Union by the end of 1816. None-the-less, vast portions of these new states remained in the hands of Native Tribes. To rectify this situation, a series of pivotally important treaties were authorized in 1817 and 1818. In the fall of 1818 alone six separate treaties were completed at St. Marys, Ohio between the US Government and the Wyandot, Seneca, Shawnese and Ottawas (September 17th), with the Wyandot (September 20th), the Potawatomi (October 2nd), the Wea (October 2nd), the Delaware (October 3rd) and the Miami (October 6th).1 These treaties brought vast amounts of land under control of the US and by reference Ohio and Indiana, ushering in the dramatic settlement and expansion of Indiana in particular. The negotiations resulted in wholesale removal of the Delaware from Indiana, substantially prevented the planned migration and settlement of the Brothertown and Stockbridge in Indiana, and set the future direction for the displacement of the Miami from their Indiana homeland.

  • William Conner
    The Life Of William Conner Timothy Crumrin William Conner lived his life in two different worlds. He lived and dressed both as a white settler and as a Native American. Because he lived as both a White man and an American Indian, William Conner understood the two different ways of life and how they affected each other. William was born near Lichtenau, Ohio in 1777, to parents Richard and Margaret Conner. His father was a trader and tavern keeper. They lived with Moravians in Schoenbrunn, Ohio. Moravians were missionaries among the Delaware Indians. The Conners traveled William Conner with them to Michigan where William grew up. Then the Moravians and Delaware decided to return to Ohio. Richard Conner and his family stayed in Michigan. He established a trading post and helped others settle in the area. By 1795, at only eighteen years old, William was trading with the Native Americans in Michigan. In the winter of 1800-1801, William and his brother John came to Indiana to become fur traders. SETTLING IN Both men settled among the Delaware and married Delaware women. According to legend, William's wife, Mekinges, was the daughter of Chief Anderson, but no one can be certain. Traders often found it helpful to marry into the tribes they traded with. For Conner, it gave him more power and control over the tribe’s actions. It also meant that the other Delawares trusted him more. Like Conner, traders often became the link between Indians and the white world. William Conner built a log home and a trading post.

  • 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.

    welcome! Our first White River Vision Plan community open house The White River Vision Plan is a community-driven process in Indianapolis and Hamilton County to develop a holistic vision and comprehensive plan that explores the enormous potential of our river to enhance regional vibrancy, ecological integrity, livability and economic vitality. The White River Vision Plan is a joint effort between the City of Indianapolis and Hamilton County Tourism, Inc. in partnership with Visit Indy’s philanthropic arm, Tourism Tomorrow, Inc. The Vision Plan would not be possible without the concerted efforts of our shareholder partners, the White River Alliance, Friends of the White River, and Reconnecting Our Waterways.

  • Proceedings of the Indiana Academy of Science
    Thomas Dean and the Delaware Towns Paul Week, Indiana Historical Society The journey of Thomas Dean (1) from Deansboro, New York, to the Delaware Towns on White river in central Indiana during the sum- mer of 1817 definitely indicates that Chief Anderson was at that time the principal chief of the Delawares in the White river country, and that his seat of residence at Anderson's Town (now Anderson, Indiana) was the seat of government and principal Delaware Indian town. From other sources we had come to the conclusion that the two most eastern towns on White river had been abandoned prior to the year of 1820. Dean's journal strengthens that conclusion. By letter dated Paris, N. Y., May 12, 1817, Asabel Curtiss Doolittle and Joseph Stebbins, Superintendents of Indian Affairs, wrote to "The Honourable Governor Of Indiana Territory and to the Agents of the several Tribes of Indians in said Territory, Gentlemen : Having been informed that a certain tribe of Indians residing near White River in your Territory have proposed to grant to the New Stockbridge and Brothertown Indians, who now reside in the Counties of Oneida and Madison in New York State, a certain tract of land upon certain conditions, We therefore, as Superintendents of the said New Stockbridge and Brotherton Indians, beg leave to represent that they are now about to set out on a journey to that country to accomplish that business, and that they have agreed with Mr. Thomas Dean, an inhabitant of the County of Oneida, to accompany them and to be their agent to negotiate with said Indians, or their agents in your Territory, and as we are personally acquainted with Mr.
