The Ponkapaug are a group of Massachusetts Native people whose historical territory lies in the Blue Hills of Massachusetts. Their winter home was the village of Ponkapaug ("a spring that bubbles from red soil") and in the summer they lived around the mouth of the Neponset River. After European settlement, English authorities established the Ponkapaug Plantation as an Indian Praying Town in 1654.
Jeremiah Momontaug came from a prominent Punkapoag family that had seep kinship and political ties to the powerful sachem Josiah Wampatuck. Momontaug, in fact, had married Wampatuck's daughter Abigail. Together the couple had at least one child, Kewop (Skuup) also known as Patience. They resided just west of Nobottom Pond.
