History Of Connecticut's Water Trails
Native Americans
The
Location
The Weantinock are a tribe that existed during and
prior to colonial times in Western Connecticut (between the
Housatonic and Connecticut River Valleys), eventually amalgamating
with Potatuck (Pootatuck) and other indigenous people to form
Schaghticoke in Western Connecticut.
Name
Algonquin. R-dialect. All of the Mattabesic
tribes spoke a common language which has been called either Quiripi or
Wampano. It is identical to the dialect spoken by the Metoac tribes of
central Long Island and the Wappinger on the east side of the lower Hudson
River.
