1626  | Purchase of Manhattan 1626The Manhatta band of the Lenape (Delaware) Indians sold the island of Manhattan to the Rhinelander Peter Minuit for a ridiculous price (there are sources that say that the Canarsie band of the Lenape sold the island to Peter Minuit). Manhattan was called the Island of Drunkenness in Native American. Peter Minuit built New Amsterdam on Manhattan. In 1664, the English took New Amsterdam from the Dutch and renamed the settlement New York.  | Manhatta (Lenape) Canarsie (Lenape) Delaware | - |
| 1643 | In 1643, 13 different Indian groups lived on Long Island. Various Lenape groups lived in the west of the peninsula and various Algonquin Indians in the east. The first Europeans reported that the Indians lived in round grass huts with a diameter of 3 to 7 meters. The Indians also helped the settlers by teaching them how to hunt, fish and grow corn, which enabled the settlers to survive in the new environment. The English generally treated the Indians fairly. Not so the Dutch, who repeatedly killed Indians. The problems with the Dutch and a smallpox epidemic in 1658 were the reason why the Indians gradually left Long Island. The last Canarsie Indian died around 1800. https://awalkthroughflushing.wordpress.com/2014/12/17/24/. http://blog.nmai.si.edu/main/2011/08/americas-first-urban-myth.html. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merrick_(people). | Canarsie (Lenape) Rockaway Matinecock (Algonquin) Merrick (Algonquin) Massapequa Nissequoge Secatoag Seatauket Patchoag Corchaug (Algonquin) Shinnecock Manhaset Montauk (Algonquin) | Canarsie Rockaway Matinecock Merrick Massapequa Nissequoge Secatoag Seatauket Patchoag Corchaug Shinnecock Manhasset Montauk |
