Abstract

This article offers a brief review of the historiography published since 1976 about Native peoples associated with early Pennsylvania. It illuminates the impact that ethnohistorical questions and methods have had on redefining our notions of the exceptionalism of Pennsylvania’s Indian relations as embodied in the trope of the peaceable kingdom. It also examines the legacy colonial Pennsylvania left for Indian relations in the nineteenth-century United States.
