Kittanning was NOT named for any "Kit-Han-E" Indians. There were no Native American tribes by that name in Pennsylvania.
Kittanning was a Delaware (or Lenni Lenape) indian village. Very loosely translated, Kittanning mean "place by the big River" or "on the great river". You get the idea.
> I think that would get tacky dividing Kittanning up like that into different themes. It's really not big enough to do that. I liked someone's suggestion about a native american thing, I think that would be appropriate considering the town was named after the Kit-Han-E (sp?) Indians.
