Metoac is an erroneous term used by some to group together the Munsee-speaking Lenape (west), Quiripi-speaking Unquachog (center) and Pequot-speaking Montaukett (east) American Indians on what is now Long Island in New York state. The term was invented by amateur anthropologist and U.S. Congressman Silas Wood in the mistaken belief that the various native settlements on the island each comprised distinct tribes.

  • Die Metoac oder Montauk waren Algonkin sprechende Indianer, die zu Beginn des 17. Jahrhunderts auf Long Island östlich der heutigen Stadt New York lebten und eine Konföderation aus einer Anzahl einzelner Stämme bildeten. (de)
  • Metoakoj estas la kolektiva nomo por la kulturaj kaj lingvaj grupoj de indianoj kiuj setlejis oriente de kio nun estas la distrikto distrikto Nassau sur Long-Insulo en Novjorko dum eŭropa kontakto en la 17-a jarcento. Metoakoj ne specife rilatas al politikaj, kulturaj, lingvaj, aŭ sociaj triboj, sed pli temas pri geografia esprimo kiu arigis indianojn de specifa loko. Ĝi foje estas erare uzita por la neekzistantaj dek tri triboj de Long-Insulo, unue aperinta en libro de la 19-a jarcenta de la loka amatora historiisto , kaj post tio, ripetita en multaj aliaj verkoj.
