Potatuck
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Potatuck (also Pohtatuck, Pootatuck) were a Native American tribe that existed during and prior to colonial times in western Connecticut, USA. They were a sub-group of the Paugussett Nation and lived in what is present day Newtown, Woodbury and Southbury. They were a farming and fishing culture, cultivating corn, squash, beans and tobacco and fishing in freshwater and possibly traveling to the coast to fish in summer months.[1]
They eventually amalgamated with the Weantinock and other indigenous people to form Schaghticokes in western Connecticut.[citation needed]
