Description
Forest Diplomacy draws students into the colonial frontier, where Pennsylvania settlers and the Delaware Indians (or Lenâpé) are engaged in a vicious and destructive war. Using sources—including previous treaties, firsthand accounts of the war, controversies over Quaker pacifism, and various Iroquois and Lenâpé cultural texts—students engage in a Treaty Council to bring peace back to the frontier.
