- Wampage I (/ˈwɒmpɒɡiː/), also called Anhōōke and later John White, was a Sagamore (or chieftain) of the Siwanoy Native Americans, who resided in the area now known as the Bronx and Westchester County, New York. He was involved in the murder of Anne Hutchinson and her fellow colonists in 1643. Some time after 1636, he married Prasque, daughter of Romaneck, the paramount chief over the Wappinger "confederacy". The Siwanoys, one of the western bands of the Wappingers, were involved in Kieft's War and numerous disputes with the colony of New Netherland during Wampage's chieftaincy. He was later involved in a legal dispute with Connecticut Colony, which ultimately required Privy Council intervention. His name was variously spelled as Wamponneage, Wampage, Wampus and Wampers. (en)
