PHILADELPHIA--An Indian tribe that says it was swindled out of land by
the son of Pennsylvania founder William Penn cannot have any of it back,
a federal judge ruled.

The Delaware Nation had sued to reclaim 315 acres of eastern
Pennsylvania land it lost in the so-called Walking Purchase, a 1737 deal
between Thomas Penn and the chiefs of Lenni Lenape tribe.

According to history books, Penn asked for as much Indian land as the
colonists could cover in a day-and-a-half's walk.

The chiefs agreed, thinking any such concession would be small.  Penn
then hired the fastest runners he could find and tribe lost 1,200 square
miles.
