Tackapousha

Tackapausha -- also spelled as Tackapousha -- was a Lenape chief who was the first person to sell land in the Rockaway Peninsula to a person of European background when he sold the present-day Far Rockaway to an Englishman named John Palmer in 1685.

He is the namesake of Tackapausha Museum and Preserve in Seaford, NY. It is "an 80-acre tract of glacial outwash plain, maintained in its natural state as a wildlife sanctuary and devoted to nature, recreation and education," according to the site's website.
