Established in 1646, the name first appeared in print in the year 1663. 24pt VILLAGE THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY VARIATIONS OF THE NAME THAT ITS ORIGIN HAS BEEN DEBATED; SOME CLAIMED BREUCKELEN MEANS “BROKEN LAND.” THE FINAL NAME OF BROOKLYN, HOWEVER, IS THE MOST ACCURATE TO ITS MEANING. 20pt The history of European settlement in Brooklyn spans more than 350 years. The settlement began in the 17th century as the small Dutch-founded town Breuckelen on the East River shore of Long Island. It grew to be a sizeable city in the 19th century, and was consolidated in 1898 with New York City.

IT RAN ALONG THE SHORE OF THE BAY. 20pt The Benson family were some of the original Dutch settlers in New Utrecht. Other early families include di Sille, Van Pelt, Cropsey, and Nostrand. Cropsey Avenue & Nostrand Avenue in Brooklyn are named for the latter two founding families. During the American Revolution, the British made New Utrecht a base of operations for the Battle of Long Island.

They spoke Munsee—one of two Lenape languages named after its speakers’ autonym. 24pt THE CANARSEE PEOPLES WERE AMONG VILLAGE THE PEOPLES WHO WERE CONFLATED WITH OTHER LONG ISLAND BANDS INTO A LARGER GROUP CALLED THE METOAC, AN AGGREGATION WHICH FAILED TO RECOGNIZE LINGUISTIC DIFFERENCES AND VARYING TRIBAL AFFINITIES. 20pt A common practice early in the days of European settlement of North America, was to associate people with a place—with its name displacing theirs among the settlers and those associated with them, including officials in the settlers’ mother countries in Europe. This was the case of the Canarsee people, whose name, to the extent they identified with one, is lost in history.

BECAUSE OF ITS CONNECTION TO LONG ISLAND SOUND. 20pt The tidal strait changes its direction of flow very frequently, and is subject to strong fluctuations in its current, which are accentuated by its narrowness and variety of depths. The waterway is navigable for its entire length of 26 km, and was historically the center of maritime activities in the city, although that is no longer the case.

SOON AFTER A THRIVING TRADING ECONOMY DEVELOPED INTO A SMALL TOWN CALLED “HET VEER”, MEANING “THE FERRY”. 20pt By the 1850s, Brooklyn City Railroad rail lines were installed at the Fulton Ferry Landing. During this pe- riod, brick warehouse development proliferated along the waterfront, and the area soon became known as the walled city. In addition to the warehouses, the Empire Stores were constructed between 1870 and 1885 during this boom period.

  • Native Americans in Brooklyn Primary Source Packet
    NATIVE AMERICANS IN BROOKLYN PRIMARY SOURCE PACKET Student Name INTRODUCTORY READING The people encountered by the Europeans in the 1600s called themselves the Lenape, which loosely translates as either “the common people” or “the ancient people.” They called their homeland Lenapehoking and their communities reached from the Lower Hudson region to the Delaware Bay, including portions of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware. To other tribes in the region, they were known as “grandfather” because of their ancient roots in the region. In the early 1600s, at the time of European contact, their population was around 20,000, divided into roughly twenty autonomous groups, closely interconnected through clan membership, Turkey, Wolf, or Turtle, which was traced through the mother. The Canarsee and Marechkawieck of the Lenape tribe lived in what is now Brooklyn. Clan lands and dwellings were “owned,” or held in trust for the clan, by the women as heads of households. The concept of shared land use was fundamental to their society – and utterly foreign to the European system of land ownership and leasing. The rise of the European system in North America would prove devastating to the Lenape, whose communal identity was rooted in a land of fluid natural boundaries. When the Dutch arrived in the 17th century in what is now New York City, their encounters with the Lenape were, at first, mostly amicable, according to historical records. They shared the land and traded guns, beads and wool for beaver furs. As the myth goes, the Dutch even “purchased” Manahatta island from the Lenape in 1626.

Garrett, Ph.D, R.P.A., editor With contributions by Diana Choi, Randa Harris, Julie Richko Labate, Molly Miranker, Jessica Vayo, and Rona Winter-Livneh February 2016 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Numerous city, state, and federal organizations contributed to the successful performance of the Riverside 2 project. The authors wish to thank, in particular, Mr. Drew Spitler of Dermott, Inc. for supporting and overseeing the cultural resources effort at Riverside 2 project over the course of GRA’s efforts (2012-2015). Without his singular support the project would not have proceeded as smoothly as it did. Mr. Parker Terrill and Mr. Mark Sangiorgi, both formerly of Dermot, served as liaisons between GRA and the client during the critical field phases of the work. Mr. Sangiorgi's interest in and appreciation of the work as well as his understanding of the compliance process allowed us to proceed with the transition from excavation to analysis and report writing phases with minimum difficulty. Ms. Amanda Sutphin, chief archaeologist for the New York City Landmarks Commission, was pivotal in the early negotiation phases of the Scope of Work, in facilitating contacts between the client and contractor, and in explaining the protocols and regulatory aspects of the work.

There is no proof these ancient residents were ancestors of the Abenaki, but there is no reason to think they were not. Acolapissa The mild climate of the lower Mississippi required little clothing. Acolapissa men limited themselves pretty much to a breechcloth, women a short skirt, and children ran nude until puberty. With so little clothing with which to adorn themselves, the Acolapissa were fond of decorating their entire bodies with tattoos. In cold weather a buffalo robe or feathered cloak was added for warmth. Algonkin If for no other reason, the Algonkin would be famous because their name has been used for the largest native language group in North America. The downside is the confusion generated, and many people do not realize there actually was an Algonkin tribe, or that all Algonquins do not belong to the same tribe. Although Algonquin is a common language group, it has many many dialects, not all of which are mutually intelligible. Bayougoula Dogs were the only animal domesticated by Native Americans before the horse, but the Bayougoula in 1699 kept small flocks of turkeys.

    THE BULLETIN Number 53 November 1971 CONTENTS Preface - L.A.B and Stanley Wisniewski 1 The Ryders Pond Site - Julius Lopez and Stanley Wisniewski 2 The Hammerstone Rockshelter - Paul L. Weinman and Thomas P. Weinman 22 Minutes of the 55th Annual Meeting, New York State Archeological Association 24 Book Note - L.A.B 28 No. 53, November 1971 1 Editorial Preface: The Ryders Point Site The publication of the following report by the late Julius Lopez on the vanished Ryders Pond site in Brooklyn has been delayed for the past few years by considerations of space, finance and policy. Its eventual publication, however, was inevitable and obligatory; it may well be the only report ever to be made on a Brooklyn site by a competent archaeologist dealing with the material in relatively modern terms. The data had been assembled and part of the report was in manuscript before Mr. Lopez's death on December 5, 1961. It was then turned over for completion to a colleague, Stanley Wisniewski, by Mr. Lopez's widow, Mrs. Eleanor Lopez. In its completed form it was much too lengthy for publication in a single or even two issues of The Bulletin, but its uniqueness as a record precluded thought of serious cutting or condensation. After much discussion the decision, approved by Mr. Wisniewski, Mrs. Lopez, and the editorial committee of NYSAA, has been to publish in three parts: the site history and lithics section in this issue, the ceramics and conclusion section and bibliography in the July, 1972, issue, and an addendum on four kaolin pipes by the late F.

    THE BULLETIN Number 55 July 1972 Contents The Bear Rock Petroglyphs Site 1 Nicholas A. Shoumatoff Editorial Policy on Date Reporting 5 L.A.B. The Ryders Pond Site II 6 Julius Lopez and Stanley Wisniewski Minutes of 56th Annual Meeting 20 Program, NYSAA Annual Meeting 23 Iroquosia – Three Reviews 24 Marion E. White No. 55, July 1972 1 THE BEAR ROCK PETROGLYPHS SITE Nichola s A. Shoumatoff Metropolitan Chapter Introduction It is remarkable that the Bear Rock Petroglyphs Site has existed so long unrecorded, known only to a handful of native residents. Thorne Duel and M.R. Harrington were active in the vicinity of the site between 1898 and 1910, yet discovery of the petroglyphs escaped them. It is even more remarkable that the site was overlooked by Leslie Verne Case, a Westchester schoolteacher and amateur archeologist who worked with Duel and did extensive survey work within a half mile of the site. In his manuscripts Case mentions only a petroglyph that formerly stood in a cove north of Greystone Station in Yonkers. The stone and its designs were known to two old Cross River- Poundridge families, the Whitman family and the Breuninger family. Carl Breuninger told the author that it was known as Bear Rock in his family. The author learned of its existence from Frank R. Whitman of Cross River, while employed in 1967 as state fire tower observer on the Ward Pound Ridge Reservation, where the rock is located. Preliminary photographs and drawings were shown to Louis A. Brennan of the N.Y.S.A.A., who encouraged the author to execute a recording of the site.
