Wikipedia description:
The Assateague (meaning: "swifly moving water") were an Algonquian people speaking the Nanticoke language who historically lived on the Atlantic coast side of the Delmarva Peninsula (known during the colonial period as the Eastern Shores of Maryland and Virginia, and the Lower Counties of Pennsylvania). While there are living people who may have distant heritage from this tribe, including some citizens of the Six Nations of the Grand River, the tribe itself no longer exists as a culturally intact tribal community.
