THE NAUSET TRIBE SOMETIMES REFERS TO THE CAPE COD INDIANS AND OCCUPIED BASS RIVER. THEIR NEIGHBORS WERE WAPANOAG. THEY BOTH SPOKE ALGONQUIAN LANGUAGE AND HAD LIMITED AGRICULTURAL PRACTICES. THEY RELIED ON SEAFOOD. THE COLONISTS CAPTURED SOME OF THEIR TRIBE FOR SLAVERY AND INTRODUCED DISEASES THAT GREATLY REDUCED THEIR POPULATION. THE PILGRIMS STOLE MAIZE FROM THE NATIVES GRAVES, THAT FUELED TENSION BETWEEN THEM.
THE NAUSET BECAME CHRISTIANIZED AND AIDED THE COLONISTS AS SCOUTS AND WARRIORS AGAINST OTHER TRIBES. THEY WERE CONFINED TO PRAYING VILLAGES. THEY INTERMARRIED AND CURRENTLY THEY ARE THE FIRST TRIBE TO RECEIVE FEDERAL RECOGNITION. THEY HAVE A POPULATION OF 100 PEOPLE.
