While the New Huritians were creating another Empire for themselves the State of Chesapeake was influencing the small tribes near the coasts. Their favorites were the Shinnecock and Montaukett on and around the Island of Paumanock (Long Island, NY). While the tribes in the northeast were fighting almost constantly, the Chesapeake were creating allies with their smaller neighbor tribes. The Wappinger on the land north of Paumanock as well as the Southern parts of the tribes of what is in OLT Central New York and Norther Pennsylvania were becoming strongly influenced by the large Chesapeake State. South of the Chesapeakes there were notably large tribes such as the Tuscarora and the Weapemeoc as well as the Tutelo and Powhatan.
