	Inside Northside Magazine's December/January 2004 Issue
		Governor William C.C. Claiborne named the area north of Lakes Pontchartrain and Maurepas after a well-respected and noble first American of the eastern Lenni-Lenape tribe, Chief Tamanend, in hopes that the Indians inhabiting the area would remain at peace with the new government.
		This was a bold agreement and an exception to the European policy of extermination, expulsion and enslavement of the American Indians, which claimed that “savages” had no more right to the lands than did the wild beasts of the forest.
		Another American sculptor, William Luke, also executed a bust of Tamanend, and in 1820 it was installed as a figurehead on the 74-gun USS “Delaware.” During the Civil War, the ship was burned and scuttled by the Confederates in the Norfolk Naval Yard, where it remained underwater for seven years.
