Moravian Indian Grants : ウィキペディア英語版 | Moravian Indian Grants
Moravian Indian Grants were three tracts of land in Tuscarawas County, Ohio granted by the federal government in the eighteenth century to a group of Christian Indians. In the nineteenth century, these natives moved west, and the government sold the land to white people. ==Background== In 1772, Moravian missionaries established communities in the Tuscarawas River valley in present day Tuscarawas County, Ohio. Three communities of Christian converts from the Delaware and Mohican Indian peoples were established. In May, 1772 came Schoenbrunn, followed by Gnadenhutten in October that year and Salem in 1780. During the American Revolutionary War they found themselves between British allied Indian tribes to their west and American frontiersmen to their east. On March 8, 1782, Pennsylvania militiamen came to Gnadenhutten, rounded up the Indians and executed 96 men, women and children in the Gnadenhutten massacre. When it was learned in the East that these victims were innocent of attacks on settlers, Congress acted to provide reparations to them.
