Lenapehoking is widely translated as ‘homelands of the Lenape’, which in the 16th and 17th centuries, ranged along the Eastern seaboard from western Connecticut to Delaware, and encompassed the territory adjacent to the Delaware and lower Hudson river valleys, and the territory between them.

The Treaty of Shackamaxon, also called the Great Treaty and Penn’s Treaty, was a legendary treaty between William Penn and Tamanend of the Lenape signed in 1682.[1] Penn and Tamanend agreed that their people would live in a state of perpetual peace.
