What is "montaukett"

The Montaukett or Montauk people are a Native American tribe of Algonquian-speaking people from the eastern end of Long Island, New York. They are related in language and ethnicity to the Pequot and Narragansett peoples who lived across Long Island Sound in what is now Connecticut and Rhode Island. Native relics and ruins of early settlements are visible at Theodore Roosevelt County Park, just east of the village of Montauk, New York.
