Tamanend
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tamanend or Saint Tammany (c. 1628–1698) was chief of the Lenni Lenape, popularly nicknamed a "saint." Tammany signed a peace treaty with William Penn in Pennsylvania in 1683. His motto was "Unite in peace for happiness; in war for defence."
His name was appropriated by New York City's corrupt Tammany Hall.
Mount Tammany, at the Delaware Water Gap; St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana [1]; and Tamanend, Pennsylvania are also named after him.
