Chief Katonah was a Munsee sachem for all Wiechquaeskeck in the Greenwich, Stamford, and Bedford area, from whom the land of the town of Bedford, New York was purchased. He was sachem of the Ramapo. The Ramapo Sachemdom was part of the Tankiteke Chieftaincy of the Wappinger League, of the Mohegan tribe of the Algonquians.
Biography
Katonah was the sachem of the condensed remnant tribes called the Ramapo. He lived in the area in the late seventeenth century. Records show that in 1708 the Ridgefield settlers petitioned the General Assembly at Hartford to remove the Ramapo. Katonah sold the Ramapo lands of 20,000 acres for 100 Pounds Sterling to the "Proprietors of Ridgefield". His name appears on land deeds up to 1743. The Remnant tribe of the Ramapo scattered to the north and west. Chief Katonah was the son of Onox (the elder) and the grandson of Ponus, Sachem of the Rippowams. Katonah had a brother named Onox and a son named Papiag who also signed land deeds. Katonah was the successor to Powahay, his brother. Katonah's daughter married Samuel Mohawk alias Chickens Warrups.Tapgow, son of Ponus, signed many land deeds in northern New Jersey including the Schyuler Patent or the Ramapo Tract Deed in 1710 in northern New Jersey.

Background
Jeremy Black and Sam Cohen met at Berklee College of Music in 1997 while attending a summer performance program, and then met Jesse Gallagher while attending the school full-time. Their musical tastes won the approval of professor Andy Edelstein, who taught classes Black and Cohen were in. Edelstein agreed to travel to Katonah, New York four days a week to produce the band's first album, which was about to be recorded in a large shed on Black's parents' property (featured in "Before and After" photos on the album's cover and sleeve art) which was constructed in May and June 2002.

Recording commenced in June and wrapped in September, with post-production completing in June 2003 in Arlington, Massachusetts.

Katonah
by: Apollo SunshineA shattered window,
The boy is back she cried.
He burned the bed he sleeps in
Because we lied to him.
And I don't want to be here
When he comes back
Sweeping up the ashes
Of the bride and groom.
When he comes back
He'll rage against the sky
Because he knows that
Nothing's true.
You've met my uncle
He bares the family's scorn.
And his adopted son in army
Uniform.
To be a part of something
With the family
Burning in the ashes
Of the bride and groom.
When he comes back
He'll rage against the sky
Because he knows that
Nothing's true.
Slashing out the
Eyes of horses
Over fifteen years.
Pushing blindly
Dead on course
The've got him
By his ears.
And the blood's just wood.
So he hides inside.
Like a soldier born
To scorch the sky.
When he comes back
Sweeping up the ashes
Of the bride and groom.
When he comes back
He'll rage against the sky
Because he knows that
Nothing's true.
