Assignment -- Audio clip for end of Pennsylvania lectures

At the end of the lectures on Pennsylvania and the Middle Colonies, I normally use a public radio clip discuss a 1737 incident known as the "Walking Purchase" to show how Pennsylvania's relations with the Indians went sour after the death of William Penn. Given our time constraints, and the uncertain nature of the sound in Jesse Wrench Auditorium recently, I thought it might best to let students inform themselves on this one. Check out the Delaware Indians' web page linked above, then go to the NPR page on Pennsylvania history and listen to the 5-minute clip. Consider this a (really easy) assignment.

Feel free to comment or ask questions here, but other than "Walking Purchase" being a potential ID or Extra Credit question on the next test, there is no special written assignment for this. Just look at the linked web pages and listen to the clip.
