The Band

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 Flag

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".

Taking a look at: https://www.facebook.com/MatinecockTribe/photos/a.200938620010646/927510687353432/?type=3&theater the central device shows a turtle ("TURTLE ISLAND") a wolf head ("WOLF CLAN") and a turkey ("TURKEY CLAN").
