Tunxis
The Algonkian word Tunxis, an abbreviation of tunxis sipos, meaning "fast-flowing little stream," identifies the Native people of present-day Hartford County, Connecticut, close neighbors of the Podunk and Schaghticoke. Culturally and linguistically, they are eastern Algonkian. They were allies of the Pocumtuck in the wars against Uncas and the Mohegans in the 1640s-50s.
