Nipmuc [SEP] Introduction
The Nipmuc or Nipmuck people are descendants of the indigenous Algonquian peoples of "Nippenet", 'the freshwater pond place', which corresponds to central Massachusetts and immediately adjacent portions of Connecticut and Rhode Island. The English had their first encounter with members of the tribe in 1630, when John Acquittamaug (Nipmuc) took maize to sell to the starving colonists of Boston. The colonists carried endemic pathogens, such as smallpox, to which the Native Americans had no prior exposure. They suffered high mortality because of lacking acquired immunity to the new infectious diseases. In addition, the English introduced Native Americans to alcohol, and they could not readily metabolize it.
