The Lenni Lenape viewed land as a communal resource, emphasizing stewardship and shared use rather than individual ownership. In contrast, the Dutch had a European perspective that prioritized private property rights, seeing land as a commodity to be bought, sold, and owned outright. This fundamental difference in understanding led to conflicts over land use and ownership, as the Dutch sought to establish exclusive claims while the Lenni Lenape relied on traditional practices of shared access. Ultimately, these differing views contributed to tensions and misunderstandings between the two groups.
