The Matinecock (also Mattinecock) were part of the Algonquian ethnolinguistic
family and are part of the "Algonquin Nation", although they have stopped
speaking their language in favor of English since long. I don't know if the word
"Kuwiinguneewul" is their autonym in Mattinecock language or a traditional
welcome message. It is an unrecognized tribe established in present-day Queens
County, New York, USA, since the end of the 17th century and related to another
unrecognized Algonquian tribe, the Massapequa of Nassau County on Long Island
too. Since 2015, their name has been associated to a street of the county
(Little Neck Street).

The background is purple and the design has the traditional colors of the
medicine wheel (yellow red black white) around which is written "Matinecock
Tribal Nation of Long Island New York".

and a turkey ("TURKEY CLAN").

Here is a flag of the Matinecock Indian Tribe of Flushing, Long Island, which
thinks that the other Matinecock Tribe is fraud.
