Pokanoket

Pokanoket

The Pokanoket, or Pocasset, were one of the tribes that made up the Wampanoag peoples.

Massasoit, and his sons Wamsutta and Metacomet, were successively the sachem of the Pokanoket in the 17th century when they first treatied with, and then made war upon, the British colonizers of what is now Massachusetts. Mount Hope (Rhode Island) was the site of the royal seat of the Pokanoket people.

Pokanoket is also a name applied to the dialect of Massachusett spoken among the Wampanoag. [Moseley, Christopher and R.E. Asher, ed. "Atlas of the World's Languages" (New York: Routledge, 1994) Map 3]
