A term that has been used in different senses, sometimes limited to the particular bancl or triVje known by this name, btit in a broader sense including most of the tribes of Long Island, excepting those about the w. end. It is occasionally used incorrectly as equivalent to Metoac, q. v. The Indians of Long Island were closely related to the Indians of Massachusetts and Connectictit. Tooker (Cockenoe-de- Long Island, 1896) says that the dialect of the Montauk was more nearly related to the Natick of Massachusetts than was the Narraganset. The Montauk, in the limited sense, formerly occupied Easthampton tp., Suf- folk CO., at the e. end of Long Island, and controlled all the other tribes of the island, except those near the w. end. That these so-called tribes were but parts of one group or tribe, or the loosely connected elements of what had been an organized body, seems apparent. Ruttenber, speaking of the Montauk in the limited.sense, says: "This chief- taincy was acknowledged both by the Indians and the Europeans as the ruling family of the island. They were indeed the head of the tribe of Montauk, the other divisions named being simply clans Text Appearing After Image: DAVID PHARAOH, "LAST KING OF THE MONTAUK" or groups, a.s in the case of other tribes. . . . Wyandance, their sachem, was also the grand sachem of Paumanacke, or Sewanhackey, as the island was called. Nearly all the deed.s for lands were con- firmed by him. His younger brothers, Nowedonah and Poygratasuck [Poggata- cut], were respectively sachems of the Shinecock and the Manhasset." The Rockaway and Cannarsee at the w. end were probably not included. It is doubt- ful whether he is correct in including the west-end Indians in the confederacy. The principal Montauk village, which probal)ly bore the name of the tribe, was about Ft Pond, near Montauk jit. The Pequot made them and their sub- ordinates tributary, and on the destruc- tion of that tribe in 1637, the Narra- ganset began a series of attacks which finally, about 1659, forced the Montauk, Note About Images Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original work.
