The Algonquians, Tatnuck Nipmuc in particular, would be my team to support!
My childhood neighborhood was "Tatnuck." The Algonquian word, tatnuc, signifies a balanced rock - a landmark in the woods off my street growing up. One thing my old man knew about was the legends of the Tatnuck People. The balanced rock eventually split, and was a site of high school drinking parties before its significance became better known. We kids used to dig for arrowheads. I never got one but my buds did. Damn I wanted to find one!
Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
