The whale or potedaup in the Montauk language,was considered a great spiritual gift from the Creator or the Giant whose name was Moshup. Later this form of whaling was called `off-shore` whaling and the Shinnecock - Montauk people of eastern Long Island taught the early English settlers this means of activity. Pictured whalers in the mashue and wooden flotation devises which would have been attached to the wounded whale. Eastern Long Island Native Americans practiced this Powdawe.
