Penn was respectful of and dealt fairly with the [[Native Americans|Indians]]. His successors, unfortunately, did not. Penn is supposed to have signed a treaty with the Indians in 1682 (although historians are not sure whether or not this really happened). The famous painting, "The Peaceable Kingdom," by primitive artist [[Edward Hicks]], incorporates many religious and Quaker symbols. In the foreground are the lion and the lamb; in the background, Penn is negotiating his treaty with the Indians.
