In the legal suit / court case of "Delaware Nation v. Pennsylvania" (2004), the Delaware nation (one of three later federally recognized Lenape tribes) and its descendants in the 21st century claimed of land included in the original so-called "purchase" in 1737, but the U.S. District Court granted the Commonwealth's motion to dismiss. It ruled that the case was nonjusticiable, even if the Delaware Nation's allegations of fraud were true. This ruling held through several appealed actions made through several levels of the United States courts of appeals. The Supreme Court of the United States refused to hear the case which had the effect of upholding the lower appeals courts' decision.
