“On November 6, 1626, the island of Manahahtàanung “the place we’re gathering wood to make bows”, was sold to the Shuwankook. “The salty people” brought 400 years of devastation, disease, war, forced removal, oppression, murder, division, suicide, and generational trauma for the Lenape people.” From a proclamation by today’s Lenape leaders refuting the “Schagen Letter”, in which Pieter Schagen, a Dutch government official, announced to the West India Company Directors the purchase of Manhattan by Peter Minuit.
