Over a couple decades ago, I learned something cute! Did you ever hear that: "Turtle Island" was the name for North America?...Yes, I've read that frequently over the past couple decades now. Turtle Island ( North America) was the name used by American indigenous peoples. The name is based on a creation story common to several indigenous peoples of the northeastern woodlands of North America. To most tribes, the turtle represents healing, wisdom, spirituality, health, safety, longevity, protection and fertility. Some Native Americans believe that the turtle contributed to creation because the turtle dove into the primeval waters to retrieve mud to create Mother Earth. It's very interesting to read what the Lenape Indians believed. ( Not that I believe that. ) But there's a lot to read about it online. Thanks for your channel, I love it❣️ See you around town! 👍❤️
Just found you and have been watching some of your videos. Good stuff as I love history. Had to comment on this as there is a creek in Bradford and Sullivan Co named after my ancestor, John Schrader. He was a Hessian captured at Trenton, turned Patriot in Washington's Army who was one of the first to settle in that area. If you ever get up that way I would love to give you information on him. He was quite a guy.
@@jayforkner2692 I saw the same thing about the Lenape on other sites and it most likely is a combination of Lenape and Algonquin origins. The Algonquin came first so with the watershed association and Lebanon Valley College combo, I then went with that. Both are in part somewhat true most likely.
4:55 Comes under the heading Jon is tired..... Waterford bridge is used by the Appalachian Creek. Please take care... this heat wave will making everyone tired.
@@jayforkner2692 it's the Waterville Bridge and came from Waterville Pennsylvania in Lycoming County. I think around 1985. Appalachian trail uses it as it's crossing over the Swatara Creek. The heat was bad that day. That's why I was under the bridge. I was tempted to jump in the creek.
1:32 kinda of confusing.... Correctly stated you are on a bridge that crosses the Schuylkill River. Is that another river? Yes, that is the Little Schuylkill River flowing into the Schuylkill River. The Schuykill River continues to the right. Hope i didn’t make it more confusing. 😂
@@jayforkner2692 it's the meeting of the Little Schuylkill River the main Schuylkill River. Not sure the bridge has a name. It's the access to Port Clinton Rail Station.
Very cool place to see!
This was so interesting! I like learning stuff like this. Cant wait for the next.

Might want to double check.
My reference is say Quittapahilla is from the Lenape.
