Tamanend (historically also known as Taminent,[1] Tammany, Saint Tammany or King Tammany,[2] "the Affable"[3]) (c. 1625–c. 1701) was the Chief of Chiefs and Chief of the Turtle Clan[4] of the Lenni-Lenape nation in the Delaware Valley signing the peace treaty with William Penn.
Also referred to as "Tammany", he became a popular figure in 18th-century America, especially in Philadelphia. Also called a "Patron Saint of America", Tamanend represented peace and amity. A Tammany society founded in Philadelphia holds an annual Tammany festival. Tammany societies (Tammany Hall being the most well-known and influential) were established across the United States after the American Revolutionary War, and Tammany assumed mythic status as an icon for the peaceful politics of negotiation.
