        The Brooklyn Historical Society had an exhibition and exhibit catalog
about 12 years ago focusing on the Native Americans of Western Long Island
"New World Encounters; Jasper Danckaert's View of Indian Life in 17th Century
Brooklyn" (1986), curated by Robert S. Grumet.  For that exhibit, a new
translation of Danckaert's was done and Charles Gehring and Grumet published,
"Observations of the Indians from Jasper Danckaert's Journal, 1679-1680" in the
"William and Mary Quarterly, v. 44, Jan. 1987.
        Information can also be found in Robert Grumet's "Native American Place
Names in New York City (published by the Museum of the City of New York, 1981)
and John A. Strong's, "The Algonquian Peoples of Long Island from Earliest
Times to 1700" (Interlaken: Heart of the Lakes Publishing/Long Island Studies
Institute of Hofstra University, 1997).
