Massachusett

The name of the natives of Massachusetts Bay, as well as their language. This is where Massachusetts got its name from. The first bible in North America was written in Natick,MA, in the Massachusett language, because publishing english bibles in the 13 colonies was illegal at the time. The language is often referred to as Wampanoag because the Wampanoag tribe in Plymouth spoke Massachusett as well. Crispus Attucks(the first man to get killed in the Boston Massacre) was a Massachusett from Natick.
