The Indians were promised land when the missions closed down but most of their land was taken away by other people making land grants. They had nowhere to go. They could also not practice there old ways of life.

What was the Kittanning Trail?

The Kittanning Path was a major east-west Native American trail in western Pennsylvania used during the 18th century. It provided an overland route for the Lenape, Shawnee, and early European settlers across the Allegheny Mountains, terminating at its western end on the Allegheny River at the Native American village of Kittanning (at present day Kittanning, Pennsylvania), the largest Native American village in the Ohio Country west of the Alleghenies. It tranversed a section of Pennsylvania closed to white settlement by the original settlement with William Penn, until opened by the Treaty of Fort Stanwix. In the 1750s, it was the scene of a fierce raids by Native Americans against white settlement, and a major British retribution campaign during the French and Indian War. It fell into disuse in the 1780s and was abandoned. A section of the original path is preserved in northwestern Cambria County.
