quote:
"The parish on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain was named, in 1810 for St. Tammany, who was not apparently a saint per se. St. Tammany was one of the names for the popular Native American Chief Tamanend, known for negotiating peacefully with Pennsylvanian colonists. According to the Delaware Tribe of Indians website: "Tamanend is reported to have announced that the Lenni-Lenape and the English colonists would 'live in peace as long as the waters run in the rivers and creeks and as long as the stars and moon endure.'"
I was actually going to be a smartass and claim there was no St. Tammany. I'll be damned.
