Peter Minuit bought Manhattan island in 1626 with a trade deal worth the equivalent of what?

Player #33258217, not necessarily true. If the seller placed little value on their land they were probably satisfied with the deal and walked away happy. Neither party could look 200 years into the future to see its value

Player #12046674, The seller probably had no concept of land as something anyone could own. Like owning the sky

I have heard it was blankets and a few other intrinsic items.

WalksBySelf, Very possibly...my thought as well

$24.... is that in today's value or in the value it was worth in 1626

WalksBySelf, Air rights can be purchased, kinda the same thing basically.

Player #12046674, back in the 1600’s that was a lot of money

Player #9799695, Lots and lots of different tribes, but most likely, the Wappinger.

What Indian tribes lived on Manhattan back then
