The Walking Purchase (or Walking Treaty) was a 1737 agreement between the Penn family, the original proprietors of the Province of Pennsylvania, later the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and the Lenape native Indians (also known as the Delaware Indians). In the purchase, the Penn family and proprietors claimed a 1686 treaty with the Lenape ceded an area of 1,200,000 acres (4,860 km2) along the northern reaches of the Delaware River at the northeastern boundary between the Province of Pennsylvania and the West New Jersey area, east of the Province of New Jersey, and forced the Lenape to vacate it.

  • Walking Purchase var ett storstilat bedrägeri som William Penns son och arvinge Thomas Penn genomförde mot lenaperna 1737 varigenom han tillskansade sig 4 860 km² mark från dem. När lenaperna protesterade mot bedrägeriet hotades de med militärt våld av Irokesförbundet. Walking Purchase gjorde att lenaperna allierade sig med fransmännen under de fransk-indianska krigen. Försök att domstolsvägen delvis få rättelse avvisades av de federala domstolarna 2004 med motiveringen, att historiska äganderättsförvärv från indiannationer som genomförts genom bedrägeri trots detta är laga fång.

William Penn, der Gründer Pennsylvanias und ein frommer Quäker, war dafür bekannt, dass er die Indianer fair behandelte. Im Gegensatz zu den anderen Kolonien war deshalb in Pennsylvania das Verhältnis zwischen Kolonisten und Indianern vertrauensvoll. Um 1737 war William Penn schon fast 20 Jahre tot und sein Sohn Thomas, Erbe und Landbesitzer, musste Land verkaufen, um die Schulden seiner Familie zu begleichen. Das Land, das er veräußern wollte, lag am Oberlauf des Delaware Rivers, dem Wohngebiet der Lenni Lenape. Penn wies ein altes, aber nicht unterzeichnetes Dokument aus dem Jahr 1686 vor und überzeugte Häuptling , dass es sich um eine rechtsverbi (de)
