Dyckman Valley

Pronounced ˆdike-man, the Dyckman Valley is where I grew up in New York City. It is the oldest inhabited part of the island, originally the home of the Weekquaeskeek Indians. They are the ones who “sold” Manhattan Island to Dutch governor Peter Minuit In 1626.

Well it turns out they actually were. It was the winter home of the Weekquaeskeek Indians. Really.
