Just west of Southampton, the Shinnecock Reservation (631/283-6143, www.shinnecocknation.com) is home to about 400 Native Americans and the Shinnecock Nation Cultural Center and Museum (Montauk Hwy. at West Gate Rd., 631/287-4923, www.shinnecock-museum.org, 11 a.m.–4 p.m. Wed.–Sun., adults $5, seniors $4, children under 12 free). Opened in 2001, the museum showcases historic birch-bark canoes and farm implements, beadwork, basketry, weavings, photographs, and an informative video.
