The Dutch bought the island of Manhattan from the Canarsee tribe, of Brooklyn, for the modern day equivalent of $950.00. However, Manhattan island actually belonged to the Wappinger Confederacy. So they had to "buy it again" later on.

GCD credits the New York Tribe (as opposed to the more common credit for just the Tribe) with inking Frank Robbins on Human Fly #8 and John Buscema on Tarzan #11, both cover dated April 1978.  Most of the Tarzan Inking is credited to Tony DeZuniga, with some assistance from Neal Adams, Josef Rubinstein and others.

Ghost Rider #29, also from April 1978, was inked by "N. Y. Tribe". GCD says the splash page was inked by Owen McCarron, with the remainder being by Tony DeZuniga and Alfredo Alcala.
