6. PENNSYLVANIA ON THE EVE OF COLONIZATION Indians: The First Inhabitants The life of the Indians reflected Stone Age backgrounds---tools, weapons, arts & crafts Some Indians formed confederacies such as the League of the Five Nations, which was made up of certain New York-Pennsylvania groups of Iroquoian speech.

7. The other large linguistic group in Pennsylvania was the Algonquian, represented by the Delawares & Shawnees. The Delawares, calling themselves Leni- Lenape or "real men," originally occupied the basin of the Delaware River and were the most important of several tribes that spoke an Algonquian language.

8. The Susquehannocks were a powerful Iroquoian- speaking tribe who lived along the Susquehanna in Pennsylvania. In the end, they fell victim to new diseases brought by European settlers, and to attacks by Marylanders and by the Iroquois, which destroyed them as a nation by 1675. A few descendants were among the Conestoga Indians who were massacred in 1763 in Lancaster County.

9. Other Tribes, which cannot be identified with certainty, occupied western Pennsylvania before the Europeans arrived, but were eliminated by wars and diseases in the 17th century,( 1600’s) long before the Delawares, Shawnees and Senecas began to move there. The Eries, a great Iroquoian-speaking tribe, lived along the south shore of Lake Erie, but were wiped out by the Iroquois about 1654

10. Under the pressure of white settlement, they began to drift westward to the Wyoming Valley, and finally to eastern Ohio. Many of them took the French side in the French and Indian War. (1763) During the Revolutionary war, the Indians joined in Pontiac's War, and fought on the British side. (against the Patriots) Their descendants now live on reservations in Oklahoma and Ontario.
