Sonquoqua was an Indian who lived at this place, and from his English name of Tom, the creek perhaps derived its name, although the common supposition is that it was derived from Thomas Benedict, one of the early inhabitants of Hashamomuk. Sonquoqua was one of the chief men of the Manhansett tribe; his name appears on the deed to Sylvester and Company for Shelter Island in 1652, as '' Sonquoequahesick. " The affix -esick, "of the brook," probably refers to his residence at Tom's Creek. •

Indian Fields is a twelve hundred acre settlement

Indian Fields is a twelve hundred acre settlement site for the Montaukett Indians with evidence of occupation dating from the pre-contact Paleo-Indian period until May 1885. The area has two small ponds and bluffs that overlook the Atlantic. This terrain of rolling grassland and brush is now a Suffolk County Park. Maria Pharoah, one of the remaining Montauketts living in Indian Fields during the 19th century, kept a diary, the only such document about the lifestyle of the Natives at the time, describes their self-sufficient, happy homesteading lifestyle — gathering, hunting, fishing, guiding sportsmen and selling crafts.

South Harbor was a 17th-century Corchaug Indian se

South Harbor was a 17th-century Corchaug Indian settlement of about 125 acres that was set aside by the town of Southold. But, just five years later, they were pushed again to a land known as Indian Neck across the channel. During the early contact period of 1630 to 1650, local native people were moving all the time under the threat of the English colonists. Before being forcefully removed to South Harbor, this group of Corchaug people lived on Hogs Neck and were told to fence it in. Before Hogs neck, they were spread throughout Yennicot, now known as the town of Southold today. The reason behind the forced removal was that the colonists claimed the Corchaug people were asked to continuously till the land for farms but failed to do so - despite the fact that Indigenous people had taught the colonists how to plant, fertilize crops, fish, and whale hunt generations before. Today the land is largely open fields and private farmland. •

Reposted from @peconiclandtrust Sugar Loaf Hill Summit — Sacred Land of Shinnecock People Protected⠀
On July 22 the Trust acquired 4.6 acres at the peak of Sugar Loaf Hill. The Trust will work closely with the Shinnecock Graves Protection Warrior Society to restore the land, remove the existing structures, and install a public trail in what will be a year-long restoration project. ⠀
Upon completion of the restoration, the Trust will petition the Town Board for approval to transfer fee title of the parcel to the Shinnecock people. This will be the first time that land within Shinnecock Hills will be returned to and repatriated by the Shinnecock Nation.⠀
Learn more about this project on our website. Link in bio.⠀

The Southold Indian Museum opened in 1962 with a mission to study surrounding archaeology and natural history. It is owned and operated by the Incorporated Long Island Chapter of the New York State Archaeological Association. In 1990, the museum was forced to remove human remains that were on display through the efforts of Shinnecock tribal member David Bunn Martine and local Professor of history John A. Strong. In more recent years, the museum has worked towards repatriating human remains that had been in their collection for decades. •
