	Nipmuc Indian Tribe History
		Hassanamesit seems to have been their principal village in 1674, but their villages had no apparent political connection, and the different parts of their territory were subject to their more powerful neighbors, the Massachuset, Wampanoag, Narraganset, and Mohegan, and even tributary to the Mohawk.
		The Nashua, dwelling farther north, are sometimes classed with the Nipmuc, but were rather a distinct body.
		The New England missionaries had 7 villages of Christian Indians among them in 1674; but on the outbreak of King Philip's war in the next year almost all of them joined the hostile tribes, and at its close fled to Canada or westward to the Mahican and other tribes on the Hudson.

	Nipmuc Archaeology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Nipmuc social relations were probably based on the mother's family line (meaning they were matrilineal).
		In southern Nipmuc country, there is clear evidence of a network of family groups that survived and intermarried over several generations during the century after the Civil War.
		But whether or not the Nipmuc eventually succeed in regaining their tribal status in the eyes of the United States government, it is clear that further understanding insight into their history can only be gained through further understanding of their deep and strong ties to their homelands.

		Estimates of the pre-contact population of the Nipmuc are at best confusing, because there is no agreement as to which groups belonged to the Nipmuc.
		Some Nipmuc tribes were subject to the Pequot and sometimes have been included as part of the Pequot Confederacy.
		The Nipmuc generally lived along rivers or on the shores of small lakes and seem to have occupied the area for as far back as can be told.

	NativeTech: Nipmuc Splint Basketry
		Nipmucs, like the Mohegans, Pequots, Niantics, and Wampanoags living in region east of the Connecticut River, eventually used a draw knife, (a blade with a handle at either end held with both hands), to shave down woodsplints; so the Nipmuc's basket splints had squared edges.
		Nipmuc baskets were usually painted in two colors, using combinations of either brown or blue with orange, pink or red.
		Nipmucs also began using different colors at this time, blue instead of brown, either for particular buyers or because that paint was easier to get.

	Narragansett Language and the Narragansett Indian Tribe (Nipmuc, Mohegans, Nanigansek)
		People: The Narragansett are considered by most historians to be a sub-tribe of the Mohegans, though their language may have been closer to that of the Wampanoag.
		However, due to heavy population losses and aggressive colonial expansion, the Indian tribes of New England were scattered, merged, and assimilated to such a degree that they lost their languages and much of their individual tribal characters.
		In particular, the Narragansett, Nipmuc, and Niantic tribes were driven together under the general Mohegan rubric; other Narragansetts took refuge with the Abenakis or Stockbridge Indians, assimilating into those cultures.

		Nipmuc Indians are the original people of central New England and are among the ‘Eastern Woodlands’ or Algonquian Indians of the Eastern United States.
		Nipmucs did not live along the coastline of southern New England, but rather set up their villages along interior rivers, lakes and large swamps.
		There are however, several Nipmuc groups (such as the Hasinamisco (Grafton) and Chaubunagungamaug (Webster) Bands in Massachusetts) which have survived the centuries and remain active in the Native American community.

		Nipmuc people today practice a combination of Christian and Native customs that are inextricably weaved throughout our modern culture.
		My hope is that the interpretation of the Wabbaquasset Praying Village by members of the Nipmuc Tribe can inspire other groups in our area to assume a more active role in the research and archaeology projects that help define their culture and past.
		As the catalyst for the development of the Nipmuc praying towns, John Eliot suggested that the seventeenth-century Massachusetts general court appoint “some of the most prudent and pious Indians, in every Indian village that had received the gospel” to assume leadership roles and teach the gospel to their fellow Indians.

	Boston.com / News / Local / Conn. / Quest for federal recognition pits Nipmuc against Nipmuc
		The purge is rooted in the Nipmuc Nation's long quest for recognition by the federal government as a sovereign tribe.
		Federal recognition is the most important hurdle the Nipmuc must clear en route to their goal of opening a large casino in central Massachusetts or northeast Connecticut.
		Although Massachusetts has recognized the Nipmuc as a tribe for hundreds of years, the federal designation would elevate the tribe to a status akin to a state.

	FR Doc 04-14394
		Occasional associations of Dudley/Webster Nipmuc descendants with Hassanamisco are mentioned by external observers during the period from 1900 to 1979, but these occurred primarily in the context of pan-Indian activities in New England rather than being identifications of an Indian entity which was antecedent to the current petitioner, 69A.
		The evolving ``governing documents'' of the period are consistent with the process of expanding the definition of the Nipmuc group she was using beyond the Hassanamisco to include families with which she had little or no previous contact.
		Therefore, petitioner 69A, The Nipmuc Nation, does not satisfy the requirements to be acknowledged as an Indian tribe with a government-to-government relationship with the United States.
