history of the Montaukett tribe, native American people

The Montaukett ("Metoac"), more commonly known as Montauk are an Algonquian-speaking Native American people from the eastern and central sections of Long Island, New York. The exact meaning of the name Montauk is unknown, although it derives from a place name in the Mohegan-Montauk-Narragansett language and roughly translates to "the fort country." The Montaukett ("Metoac" or Matouwac) were Native Americans on Long Island and often known in colonial writings by the place name of their geographic territories, such as the Montauk and the Shinnecock, which may or may not have been the same as their name for themselves. European colonists tended to mistakenly assume that the different bands they encountered were different tribes, even in cases where the bands clearly shared the same culture and language.
