[Robert S. Grumet (2014)] on November 10, 1701 (New Jersey Archives, Liber H:37-39), and Rechawak, mentioned in a deed to land dated July 29, 1702 (New Jersey Archives, Liber M:555-556), came from a different Munsee word, lechauwaak, “fork, branch.” Observing that the Munsee word for “fork” sounds more like leexaweek, Whritenour thinks that the names in New York and New Jersey both represent the way the Munsee word *leekuwi, “sandy or gravelly,” sounded to Europeans. New York colonists frequently referred to native people at the western end of Jamaica Bay as Rockaway Indians. Today, their name adorns Rockaway Parkway and other places in Canarsie (see above) in Brooklyn and a beach, an inlet, a neck, the neighborhood of Far Rockaway and fondly remembered now-closed Rockaway Playland in Queens. East Rockaway and (in somewhat altered form) Rockville Center are located in Nassau County. The name’s close association with waterfront fun is reflected in the fact that nearly every occurrence of Rockaway elsewhere in the United States is attached to a beach, a lake, or some other watery locale. SACKERAH (Bronx County). The New York City Parks Department gave the name Sackerah Woods to a playground in Van Cortlandt Park at the junction of Jerome Avenue and East Gun Hill Road completed in 2010. Thought to have been the name of an Indian trail that followed the route of Gun Hill Road (in R. P. Bolton 1922:101), Sackerah was noted as the name of a place that was a boundary marker for the tract of land in the present-day Fordham area sold by Indians on September 28, 1669 (Palstits 1910 1:212214). SAMPAWAMS (Suffolk County). Sampawams Point juts into the Great South Bay by the mouth of six-mile-long Sumpwams Creek to the south of those acquired through his 1684 Indian deed (Budke 1975a:56-59; Ulster County Records, Patent Book 5:108-109). Repeatedly logged over the course of the past two centuries, most of the land at the northern end of the Schunnemunk ridge presently is protected within the more than 2,700-acre Schunnemunk Mountain State Park. The ridge’s southern end, however, remains in private hands. These lands currently are being transformed into a densely developed suburban residential community. SEEWACKAMANO (Ulster County). The YMCA of Kingston and Ulster County’s Camp Seewackamano is located in the community of Shokan (see below) in the Town of Olive. The camp is named for Sewackenamo, an influential Esopus sachem (see above) who rose to prominence as a go-between his people and colonists from 1659 to 1682. Sepasco is the name of a lake and a road in the Town of Rhinebeck. The name first appeared as Sepeskenot in a patent to land in the area granted on April 22, 1697 (New York State Library, Indorsed Land Papers 7:219). Palatine Germans settling at the locale in 1712 soon renamed the area Rhinebeck in memory of a beloved locale in The name reappeared as Suan Hacky in the January 15, 1639, Indian deed to the western part of the island (Gehring 1980:9). Spelled in a variety of way, Sewanhaka became a popular name for ships, clubs, and businesses during the nineteenth century, becoming notorious when the steamer Sewanhaka blew up and burned, killing 50 of its passengers during an excursion cruise along the East River on June 28, 1880. Today, Sewanhaka adorns a high school, a street, a yacht club, and several other places in Nassau County. SHANDAKEN (Delaware, Greene, and Ulster counties). Whritenour thinks that Shandaken sounds much like a Munsee word, shundahkwung, “place of cedar trees.” Today, Shandaken is the name of several places in and around the town of the same name in the Catskill Mountains. The name Shandaken first appeared during the Revolutionary War in 1779 as Shoheken, a colonial spelling of Shokan (see below) that may also be the source of modern-day Shandaken. Colonial militiamen built forts that year at Great Shandaken (the present-day hamlet of Shandaken) and at Little Shandaken (closer to Shokan at Lake Hill just west of Woodstock). Both Shandakens were part of the original Town of Woodstock incorporated in 1787. Shandaken residents broke off from Woodstock to form a town of their own in 1804. Quickly becoming a center of the tanning industry, the hamlet of Shandaken in the which rises in the Town of Shandaken and flows north into Dry Brook in the Town of Hardenbergh on its way to Arkville where it falls into the East Branch of the Delaware River. The 18-mile-long Shandaken Tunnel completed in 1924 transports New York Citybound water from the Schoharie Reservoir to the Esopus Creek (see above) at Allaben (named for local resident Orson M. Allaben) just east of the hamlet of Shandaken. The name also adorns the recently established 5,376-acre Shandaken Wild Forest preserved in its natural state in Catskill State Park. SENASQUA (Westchester County).Whritenour thinks that Senasqua sounds
