William Penn and Tamanend continued to sign seven more documents assuring each other, and their peoples, of peaceable understanding after the initial one in 1683.
Tammany's popular status was partly due to the desire by colonists to express a distinct "American" identity, in place of their former European nationalities.
Because of Philadelphia's prominence during the American Revolution and subsequent decades, Tammany soon became a national symbol throughout much of the newly formed country.
Several of Tamanend's grandchildren became important Lenape chiefs and warriors, including Pisquetomen, Nenatcheehunt, Shingas and Tamaqua.
A white marble statue of Tamanend adorned the façade of the building on East 14th Street that housed Tammany Hall.
People danced in American Indian style to music while holding a ribbon and moving in a circle around the pole.
The "men spent the day in mirth and jollity...in honor of King Tammany" (Military Journal of George Ewing, 1928).
After the end of the Revolutionary War, Tammany celebrations spread throughout the United States, including to Savannah, Georgia.
