Local American history

The clans in what is currently New York were overwhelmingly Iroquois and Algonquin. Long Island was separated generally into equal parts between the Wampanoag and Lenape. The Lenape additionally controlled a large portion of the district encompassing New York Harbor. North of the Lenape was a third Algonquin country, the Mohicans. Beginning north of them, from east to west, were three Iroquoian countries: the Mohawk, the first Iroquois and the Petun. South of them, separated generally along Appalachia, were the Susquehannock and the Erie.[34][35][36][37][38][39]
