Neolin
From Free net encyclopedia
Neolin (the Delaware Prophet) was a prophet of the Lenni Lenape, who was derided by the British as "The Imposter". Beginning in 1762, Neolin believed that Native American's should reject European goods and abandon dependancy on foreign settlers in order to return to a more traditional aboriginal lifestyle. He made arguments against alcohol, materialism, and polygamy. Neolin's most famous follower was Pontiac.
