NEW SWEDEN

 LENAPE today live within the shaded area in the map to the left.

.

The little map to the right shows the territory of New Sweden (1638-55).

.

The Delaware River is shown in eaach map as a reference to orientate both maps to each other.

.

The LENAPE today survive where the short-lived Swedish colony was located.

.

Even after the military defeat by the English, Swedish and Finnish people continued to live with the LENAPE.

.

These maps show the extent of the genocide caused by the PROTESTANT ENGLISH colonies.

.

The LENAPE were the Grandfather tribe of most of the Americans East of the Rocky Mountains.  When the LENAPE sold land to William Penn, Pennsylvania was a small part of a vast region including most of the Mississippi River Basin.

.

Many of those people  took tribal names after the English invasion.
.

Most tribes spoke dialects of Norse.

.

The English at Jamestown and in New England knew the LENAPE were Catholics, who spoke Norse.

.

About AD 1612 the English decided on an invasion scheme.

.

The English would tell the world that the Americans were pagan.

.

If the world believed the Americans were pagan, the Doctrine of Discovery gave the English the “right” to kill or enslave the Americans.

.

The English did that.

.

They also encouraged the Dutch in New York to massacre the LENAPE.

.

The Dutch did that even after the LENAPE asked for protection in the original treaty for New York.

.

The Dutch had agreed to give the LENAPE safety from the Mohawks.

.

The Swedes came into New Sweden 26 years after Jamestown.  By then the English destruction of the LENAPE in De La Warr’s land was nearly over.

.

These maps show that where the Swedes settled, the LENAPE still live today.  

.

Where the English settled at Jamestown and in New England, the effects of genocide followed by wartime propaganda called SUPPRESSION by OMISSION can be clearly seen.

.

There is little evidence of LENAPE in those areas today.
