THIS TRIBE LIVED IN WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS AND PARTS OF CONNECTICUT, AND VERMONT. THEIR VILLAGE WAS POCOMTUC. THEIR LANGUAGE IS EXTINCT BUT WAS A DIALECT OF ALGONQUIAN. THEY WERE SEMI SEDENTARY AND GREW ALGONQUIAN. THEY WERE SEMI SEDENTARY AND GREW CROPS OF CORN, BEANS. AND SQUASH. THEY HUNTED GAME AND FISHED IN THE CONNECTICUT RIVER, A MAJOR ROUTE FOR TRANSPORT. THEY WERE DECIMATED BY INTERTRIBAL WARFARE AND DISEASES. THEY WARRED WITH DUTCH, ENGLISH, AND FRENCH. AFTER KING PHILLIPS WAR, MANY OF THE POTOMTUC AND OTHER TRIBES FLED TO THE HUDSON RIVER, BY 1754 MOST JOINED OTHER TRIBES AND MOVED WEST. MOST LOST THEIR TRIBAL IDENTITY THROUGH INTERMARRIAGE WITH TRIBES AND SETTLERS.
