Thanks for this, Walter. Great info., and I've always wondered which nations were where, in Brooklyn, before/during Dutch and English settlement. Can anyone make out the word that is written between the "s" and "h" in Bushwick, that begins with Quan...? I tried to google what it looked like to me, but came up empty in all cases. Such a great part of the early history of our 'places'. A few years ago, with the generous help of a Mdewakanton Band historian, I was able to determine that my house in Minnesota sits on what used to be the border between the Dakota and Ojibwe nations, and was the site of many battles over the years. I was only able to access written histories authored by the Scandinavian, German and Irish immigrants to the area where I live, as the indigenous people's records were oral. Leonard helped me to discover and understand the history from their perspective, rounding out my knowledge of what is now my home.

I hope this information is useful or, at least, interesting.
