In Massachusetts, the primary tribes are the Wampanoag, the Mohican, and the Nipmuc. The Wampanoag are perhaps the most well-known, historically associated with the first Thanksgiving and the Plymouth Colony. The Nipmuc are located primarily in central Massachusetts, while the Mohican, originally from the Hudson River Valley, also have a presence in the region. Today, these tribes continue to preserve their cultural heritage and engage in various community initiatives.

The exact answer to this question is very complex but generally speaking Indian tribes were part of a loose hierarchical grouping and were distinguished by the primary language they spoke as well as their location. Prior to European contact, Massachusetts primarily had three Native American tribes; the Wampanoag's lived in the east; the Mohegan's lived in much of the central part of the state and the Mahican's (also referenced as the Mohican's) dominated the area west of the Connecticut river. These three Massachusetts tribes spoke unique languages based on the Algonquin Language and thus are often considered to be part of the much larger Algonquian tribe which covered the entire region of what is now the northeastern U.S. The Wampanoag's are the only Massachusetts' tribe remaining that is recognized by the U.S. Federal government. The name "Massachuset" comes from the Wampanoag's with a meaning of "by the range of hills" It is important to note that each of the three primary tribes in Massachusetts had a number of sub-tribes with their own names and "dialects". Also, it was very common for members of a tribe to learn the languages of other tribes which even further complicated their association with any specific single tribe and frequently resulted in yet another lower layer of tribes in the hierarchical structure.
In Natick, the language of the Massachusetts, Narragansett and Wampanoag tribes, the word for a door or gateway is squont, squoant or squontam.
The Wampanoag tribes were located in various regions of Massachusetts. Locations where they lived include Bristol County, Nantucket, and Barnstable County.
Present-day tribes in Massachusetts include the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe, the Aquinnah Wampanoag Tribe, and the Nipmuc Nation. The Mashpee Wampanoag, located on Cape Cod, are known for their cultural preservation and sovereignty efforts. The Aquinnah Wampanoag reside on Martha's Vineyard and also focus on cultural heritage and economic development. The Nipmuc Nation, primarily based in central Massachusetts, continues to advocate for tribal recognition and community revitalization.
The Wampanoag were a Native American tribe in southeastern Massachusetts and Eastern Rhode Island(mostly Massachusetts). When the first white men of Pilgrims came to Massachusetts the Wamponaog were friendly. But in the late 1600s the Wamponaog became the one of the fiercest tribes in Massachusetts. They were the leading tribe in King Philips war in 1675-1676 one of the bloodiest wars in America.
