EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the historical moment when William Penn, the founder of Pennsylvania, established a treaty with the Delaware Indians at Shackamaxon, on the banks of the Delaware River in 1682. Penn, depicted in the foreground with a quill pen in hand, is deep in conversation with the Delaware Chiefs, represented by the two Native American leaders seated before him. The sun and moon, symbols of eternal endurance, are depicted in the sky above, underscoring the significance of the treaty's promise to continue 'as long as the Sun and Moon shall endure.' The treaty, signed on this occasion, was an essential step in the founding of Pennsylvania, a province that would later become the United States' fifth most populous state. Penn's vision for the new settlement was one of religious freedom and peaceful coexistence with the indigenous peoples. This image, therefore, represents not only a pivotal moment in the history of Pennsylvania but also a testament to the potential for peaceful relations between European settlers and Native American tribes. The location of the treaty signing, Shackamaxon, is now a part of modern-day Philadelphia, making this image a powerful reminder of the city's rich history and the important role it played in the early days of American history. The Delaware Chiefs, whose names are not recorded in historical records, are an essential part of this story, and their presence in this image underscores the importance of acknowledging and honoring the indigenous peoples who came before us.
