The Schaghticoke (/ˈskætᵻkoʊk/ SKAT-ə-kohk or /ˈskætᵻkʊk/ SKAT-ə-kuuk) are a Native American tribe of the Eastern Woodlands who historically consisted of Mahican, Potatuck, Weantinock, Tunxis, Podunk, and their descendants, peoples indigenous to what is now New York, Connecticut, and Massachusetts. The remnant tribes amalgamated in the area near the Connecticut-New York border after many losses. There is a town by the name of "Schaghticoke" in New York State, so named because of the confluence of Hoosic and Hudson Rivers.
