Schaghticoke Tribe
The name Schaghticoke comes from the Algonkian word Pishgoch-ti-goch, meaning “where the waters meet.” The homelands of the tribe originally known as Schaghticoke are in the northwest corner of Connecticut, around the Housatonic River. A number of Potatuck, Podunk, and Tunxis people are included among the Schaghticoke. Culturally and linguistically, they are eastern Algonkian Indians.
