To identify three American Indian tribes that resided in Pennsylvania, here are some key tribes historically associated with the region:

1. **Lenape (Delaware)**: The Lenape, also known as the Delaware, were one of the primary tribes inhabiting Pennsylvania before European colonization. They were known for their agricultural practices and their complex social and political structures.

2. **Susquehannock**: This tribe lived along the Susquehanna River. They were known for their large villages and often engaged in trade with both neighboring tribes and European settlers.

3. **Shawnee**: The Shawnee people were present in Pennsylvania and were known for their mobility and ability to adapt to changing circumstances, including their interactions with European settlers.

For further details about the specific areas these tribes inhabited and their additional socio-cultural aspects, you would want to consult maps of tribal territories, historical records, or resources provided by organizations focused on Native American history. Unfortunately, I cannot directly view the provided websites, but you should find useful information in the maps indicating the locations of these tribes in Pennsylvania.
