Colonists adapted ancient patterns of trade and cultural interaction created by the ancestors of Lenape, Conestoga, and Haudenosaunee peoples and convinced themselves they had made them their own. In the process, Pennsylvanians developed moral justifications for the expropriation of Indigenous land, pernicious doctrines about racial superiority, and brutal mechanisms of vigilante violence that profoundly influenced later United States government policies.\u003cp\u003eThose policies kept Pennsylvania in the foreground of national Native American issues long after the Commonwealth expelled the majority of its Indigenous population to far-flung diasporic homes: forced cultural assimilation at off-reservation boarding schools in the nineteenth century, cultural revitalization and political activism in the twentieth, and struggles with cultural institutions over the repatriation of human remains and controversies over who has the right to claim Indigenous identity in the twenty-first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the series \u003ci\u003ePennsylvania History\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDaniel K.
