[Edward Manning Ruttenber (1872)] doubt concerning what is meant by the Highland Indians amongst us. The Wappingers and TVickeskeck, etc., have always been reckoned so." It is entirely possible that the tribal name was Weque-hachke, or Wickeskeck, or PPeckquaesgeek, and tkat Wappingcrs is local. In all their official relations, however, and in the recognition of Nimham, they were known as the Wappingers. 84 THE INDIAN TRIBES on the north to Manhattan island on the south. What their family clans were on the north is not known, nor where their capital. On Van der Donck's map three of their villages or castles are located on the south side of the Mawenawasigh, 01 Great Wappinger's kill, which now bears their name. North of that stream they appear to have been known as the Indians of the Long Reach, and on the south as the Highland In dians. Among their chiefs Goethals and Tseessaghgaw are named, while of their sachems the names of Megriesken and Nimham1 alone survive.
