Swarthmore College apologized Monday after detailing how a professor dug up a Native American burial ground in Chester County in 1899 and displayed its human remains and artifacts on campus — before those remains were lost, presumably forever.
In the story, the Inquirer mentioned a Lenape burial that took place on an unrecorded date likely in the 18th century atop a peaceful knoll overlooking the west branch of Brandywine Creek. The Lenape dug down 4 feet, 7 inches, and gently laid a man’s 6-foot-1 frame on a stone floor. They, placed some copper objects, glass beads, and a cloth inside, and covered the body with dirt.
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. Smith said that after she learned of Trotter’s involvement, she formed a group to examine whether the school still held the remains. The group consulted with representatives from the National Museum of the American Indian and received guidance from the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act division of the National Park Service.
