The northern tip of Manhattan—today’s Inwood—was one of the last areas with strong Lenape presence.
A Lenape settlement called Shorakkapoch was located in this area
The famous symbolic “purchase” is often associated with the whole island, but actual Dutch control expanded gradually, not all at once
Even after 1626, Lenape people continued living in northern Manhattan for some time
