Interesting side note:
The Mohegan (Not to be confused with Mohican) and Wampanoag tribes have a father deity named Moshup, a giant who is married to Granny Squannit, the "queen" of the Makiawisug (little people- nearly identical to the fey in every respect, including requiring tributes of food, not allowng people to point at them or talk to them in the summer/daytime, stealing, using magic, depending on belief to live, and wearing shoes made from lady slippers).
At any rate, Moshup is said to have created Cape Cod and the Islands, and there's some rich folklore behind local phenomena in the area. His sleeping, cloaked form is said to be the Island of Martha's Vineyard, and every so often he wakes up to smoke a pipe, leading to the fog that sometimes clings to the outwash plain. For those who don't know, there's a natural humanlike head-believed to be his- in the red clay cliffs on one end of the island; in the town of Aquinnah (Formerly called Gay Head on maps, until recently.)
He's supposed to have tried to build a bridge from Martha's Vineyard to the mainland (folklore can contradict itself) but because of his temper, he destroyed his work in a powerful blow, scattering the stones across New England; which is why the area of Connecticut is so rocky compared to the Cape.
Storms are/were caused by Moshup's arguments with Granny Squannit, in their beehive home in the realm of the Makiawisug.
Moshup is also said to be able to either transform into a whale, or have become one, by the Wampanoag tribe on the cape. (There are at least two tribes with the spelling 'Wampanoag'- the "Wamp uh no ahg" tribe on Martha's Vineyard and "wamp uh nog" tribe on the mainland.)
Sorry for the tangent, but I thought this info might be cool to someone. I grew up on Martha's Vineyard, and I learned some fascinating stories from friends in the tribe.
