Back in 1899, a Swarthmore professor dug up a Native American burial ground and displayed its remains and artifacts.
In some cases, museums have been slow to comply with, or outright resisted,
Swarthmore learned of the burial ground excavation from an Inquirer story in April 2022 that chronicled theto donate a Lenape burial ground on her Newlin Township property to Native Americans, whom she viewed as rightful owners. It is the only officially recognized Native American burial ground in Chester County.
The body lay undisturbed until 1899, when the Swarthmore professor dug up the skeleton, as well as objects buried alongside it, and moved it all to the college — a practice not uncommon by white people, both professional and amateur. In fact, four graves at the same site in 1878 were exhumed out of 30 found, indicating the property eventually purchased by McCloskey was part of a much larger burial ground.
In 1909, the burial site, known locally as Indian Knoll, was designated by the county as a historical Native American burial site of the Lenape.
