I also imagine the Lenni Lenape Indians being chased off their lands after being informed the peninsula was no longer theirs to hunt and fish. Love to hear more about them.
Actually if you research the history the Lenni Lenape were never chased from their land. They SOLD theirs to the Dutch in NY And NJ and a little to the Swedes in and around Delaware Bay. Unlike the majority of native peoples it was nothing personal...strictly business.
@@hellskitchenmusic Actually if you did your research you would know "ownership" of land as far as the American Indian goes is a misnomer. Yes, Indians were given a pile of beads and trinkets by the white man for the entire island of Manhattan. "SOLD" in caps? Your whole attitude that it was all two parties negotiating on equal terms is not true. And if I "actually research"? Well "ACTUALLY" I have. You see my comment centers around the fact that they had no idea in their negotiations that they would be barred from hunting and fishing on the lands. The Hartshorne family, (see: Hartshorne Park), was bestowed the land we now today as northeastern Monmouth County by the king of England. (I have even seen the agreement Robert Hartshorne drew up to be able to hunt and fish around the Rumson penninsula. It was made between Robert and the Lenni Lenape). Now you need to explain how the king of England gave away land that was not his to give. You need to explain THAT. (Maybe actually research) The Indians were seen as savages. The whole idea of "land ownership" was foreign to them and as a result no negotiations were made in good faith by the Caucasians that came pouring in from Europe. Sorry, but most of the land was taken. Yeah "nothing personal", accept PERSONALLY THINKING THE INDIANS WERE LAWLESS SAVAGES AND "BUYING" LAND FOR VERY LITTLE BUT MOSTLY TAKING IT. What you learned in High School was bs.
The point was they were never conquered. The main business venture was the trade in furs and trade goods. The Dutch and the Swedes traded what was of value to the Local population at that time. It wasn’t all beads and trinkets which is a stereotype you might of learned in hs but is not accurate. Trade is trade. Whatever the market will bear it will bear. Unlike the French for example who did their own trapping the Dutch and the Swedes wanted to have the Indians do the trapping and simply trade with them. Along the way land was also used as a trade good. Granted yes land ownership and the whole world view of the native peoples were not parallel with the Europeans. And yes they were seen as noble or not so noble savages but they were not pushed out like the majority of indigenous people in North America. The English when they took over NJ in and around 1660 rewrote a lot of history about the area to make the Dutch look bad. And the whole beads and trinkets stereotype business with the Lenape are a result of that. We can go into this more but will sign off for now. Cheers
