    The Long Island Native & Black History UPDATE Volume 1, Number 1 July 22 – 29, 2006 [Reprint] Jul 25, 2006 On NY1 Now: News All Morn (http://www.ny1.com/ny1/OnTheAir/program_guide.jsp) Memorial To Be Built At African, Native American Burial Ground In Queens By Roger Clark A Queens’s playground is being transformed, as the city pays homage to the ancestors of both African and Native Americans. NY1's Roger Clark has more in the following report. Across the street from the Flushing cemetery is the final resting place for 1,000 people. But there are no headstones or landscaping - it's a playground built over a graveyard in the 1930's by the city. “It was inconceivable that you would make a playground out of a cemetery,” says activist Mandingo Tshaka of Bayside. “I’ve never heard of such a thing.” Beneath the asphalt is the burial place of mostly African and Native Americans buried in a potter's field from the 19th century. Now, a 15-year campaign to make the site a memorial park by Tshaka, who has ancestors buried in the field, is becoming a reality. “We're going to have lots of planting, benches, pathways, a new playground, [and] I think it’s going to be a wonderful amenity for the neighborhood," says Angelyn Chandler of the Parks Department. The 3.5-acre site will be surrounded by iron fencing, and there will also be a memorial to those buried there. Getting to this point wasn't easy because some residents weren't happy about losing a playground.

  • Tribal Systems and Land Alienation: a Case Study
    Tribal Systems and Land Alienation: A Case Study JOHN STRONG Long Island University The use of deceit, force and manipulation by whites to di­ vest Indians of their ancestral lands is generally acknowledged, although local historians will often argue that in their areas things were different. Their ancestors treated Indians honestly, buying land from the chief of the tribe fairly and squarely. In­ deed, most local histories celebrate a "chief" who was a special friend of the first settlers, protecting them in time of trou­ ble, providing them with food and signing the inevitable peace treaty, which included large chunks of real estate. This chief generally had a beautiful daughter who played a dramatic role in local folklore. She was either kidnapped by the bad Indians and rescued by whites or married to a white settler. Fanciful variations of this tale are told over and over as evidence of good relations between "our" Indians and our ancestors. The assertion repeated in so many accounts, which said that a tribal chief who spoke for his people negotiated away the land in a legitimate transaction, was nearly always sup­ ported by a written document bearing the signature or sign of the chief. Although questions were often raised about the na­ ture of the chief's authority by the Indians themselves and by rival groups of whites who were defending conflicting land ti­ tles, the office proved remarkably resilient. The reason for this resilience becomes clearer when we examine the deed process more closely. The process of land alienation on eastern Long Island provides an excellent case study.

  • “Bold Mariner”: Jeremiah Pharaoh's Home at Indian Fields
    The Materiality of a “Bold Mariner”: Jeremiah Pharaoh’s Home at Indian Fields lihj.cc.stonybrook.edu/ 1 “March the 3 I arrived at Montauk in the year of our Lord 1798 on Sat. Night. I was gone Nine years and five months. I sailed out Nantucket.” 2 “I Jeremiah Pharaoh the Bold mariner I sailed the world all over nine long years. When I Returned home I found my relations stranded which grieved my heart ful so.” (Sag Harbor Express, “Bits from Book of Jeremiah Pharaoh,” July 31, 1924) 3 The whaling industry has a long history, beginning with drift whaling, and ending with an expansive industry reliant on deep-sea ventures. The industry was impacted through the years by competition among nations, changing demands for energy sources, the desire for luxury goods, and trade regulations, which resulted in highs and lows in profits. Whaling drew all types of men for employment at sea, but the involvement of indigenous and African American men in North American whaling was particularly conspicuous. Yet, little attention has been paid to the household-level experiences of these men and their families. In this paper, I will discuss the economic conditions and lived experiences of Jeremiah Pharaoh, an indigenous whaler from eastern Long Island, and his wife Alloosa Tallman, within the broader regional socio-historical context of whaling. 4 This paper is a study in historical archaeology, as documentary and archaeological resources provide the data for interpreting some people’s lives. As such, there is a reliance on architecture, artifacts and texts, to explore the materiality of everyday life.

New-York Historical Society Library. © Women and the American Story 2021 Page 1 of 6 EARLY ENCOUNTERS, 1492-1734 Dutch Colonies Quashawam was born around the year 1640 in Montauk Village, the central settlement of the Montaukett people of eastern Long Island. Her father, Wyandanch, was the sachem, or leader, of the Montaukett. During Quashawam’s childhood, the Montaukett, Shinnecock, Niantic, English, Dutch, and others competed for control of eastern Long Island, which made life in the area very unstable. Wyandanch made an alliance with the English, and in return, the English named him the alliance chief for all Native communities on eastern Long Island. Not every sachem accepted Wyandach’s oversight, but with the might of well- armed English settlers behind him, he had a lot of authority. Quashawam grew up watching her father balance these complex relationships. In 1653, Montauk Village was raided by the Niantic, a tribe from Rhode Island that wanted the Montaukett to pay them tribute. Thirty men were killed in the raid, and Quashawam was taken prisoner. Wyandanch called on the English for help, and together they forced the Niantic to return Quashawam for a ransom payment. This episode showed her firsthand how important it was to have powerful allies. Wyandanch died in 1659. Quashawam’s younger brother was named sachem in his place, but he was too young to lead.

  • Lion Gardiner: Long Island's Founding Father
    Transcript of Lecture Delivered by Roger Wunderlich, Ph.D. March 14, 1998 Lion Gardiner: Long Island's Founding Father In the year of our Lord, 1635, the tenth of July, came I, Lion Gardiner and Mary my wife from Woerden a towne in Holland, where my wife was born . to London and from thence to New England and dwelt at Saybrooke forte four years . of which I was commander: and there was borne to me a son named David, 1636 . the first born in that place, . Then I went to an island of mine owne which I had bought and purchased of the Indians, called by them Manchonake by us the Isle of Wight, and there was born another daughter named Elizabeth . in 1641, she being the first child of English parents that was born there. — Lion Gardiner, lines in a family Bible1 Long Island as America is the premise that the history of this Island reflects as well as contributes to most major phases of national life from colonial times to the present. One may examine the Long Island story through the prism of national history, or view the nation's history in terms of events on Long Island—the subjects are interchangeable. 2 The Long Island as America thesis applies equally to the impact of European settlement on the Native American people: the pattern of colonial growth; Long Island in the Revolution and then in the early Republic; slavery; whaling; the building of the Long Island Railroad; farming, fishing, and shipbuilding; the Civil War and the Gilded Age; the Gold Coast estates; the rise of the suburbs; the Roaring Twenties, replete with the Jazz Age, Prohibition,

  • Wyandanch Led East End Indians Through Time of Violent Change
    Wyandanch Led East End Indians through Time of Violent Change he trials and tribulations of Wyandanch, Grand Sachem of the Algonquians on the East End of Long Island, would have made a perfect Shakespearean tragedy. The Indian chief had to cope with a dangerous and shifting political scene in the middle of the 17th Tcentury. He worked to keep peace between his own people and encroaching English settlers, both dissatisfied with his efforts. He had to defend his tribe against marauding natives from Connecticut and Rhode Island, his own daughter kidnapped in one of the raids. He felt pow- erless to halt the destruction of traditional Indian culture and saw his people decimated by European diseases. He himself succumbed to plague in 1659, though some historians think he was poisoned. Poison would have been a classical end to the saga of this beleaguered leader. The Indians on the East End lived fairly well, enjoying the riches of sea and land, until they were sucked into a conflict involving the English, Dutch, and aggressive New England sa- chems. In 1637 English soldiers massacred the Pequots in Connecticut who had been killing colonists and were exacting tribute from neighboring tribes, including those on Long Island. Realizing that Ninigret, the aggressive sachem of the Niantics, would attempt to fill the void left by the Pequots, and seeing that resistance to the English was futile, the young Montaukett sachem Wyandanch negotiated a pact with 38-year old Lion Gardiner, an English military commander. .
