Pocomtuc

Oldest of all are the great rings of rough-hewn stone columns on the hilltops, but these are more generally attributed to the Indians than to the settlers.

deposits of skulls and bones, found within these circles and around the sizable table rock on Sentinel Hill, sustain the popular belief that such spots were once the burial places of the Pocomtucs, even though many ethnologists, disregarding the absurd improbability of such a theory, persist in believing the remains Caucasian.

There were other Algonquian language-speaking nations like the Narragansetts and the Pocumtucks.

Another fun little detail is that in addition to longhouses, these tribes were also known to construct wigwams-
