The Gastern Valley , also known as the Gasterental or (according to the Swiss national map) the Gasteretal , is a valley near Kandersteg in the Bernese Oberland in Switzerland . The Kander River flows through it. The upper valley basin is about 1,600 m high, and the valley outlet is about 1,350 m high. The valley is only inhabited during the summer months.

In the Kandersteg dialect, "gasteren " means "to stay overnight." Selden, the rear part of the valley, was once inhabited year-round; two inns offered accommodation and meals to travelers over the Lötschen Pass .

Ponkhapoag or Punkapog, is the name of a Native American "praying town" settled in the late 17th century western Blue Hills area of eastern Massachusetts by persons who had accepted Christianity. It was established in 1657, during the colonization of the Atlantic seaboard of the United States by settlers from Britain. This was the name given to the winter residence (and subsequently to the tribe) of the group of Massachusett who lived at the mouth of the Neponset River near Dorchester in the summer, in what colonists called Neponset Mill.
