Algonquin-speaking people who populated the central plateau of Massachusetts, extending south into northern Rhode Island and northeastern Connecticut.
There was never a Nipmuc tribe, as such, Instead, Nipmuc is a geographic classification given to the native peoples who lived in the independent bands and villages of the region.
Only two identifiable groups of Nipmuc have survived to the present day: the Hassanamisco, with a small reservation at Grafton, Massachusetts, and the Chaubunagungamaug, with a privately-owned ten acre reservation in Webster, Massachusetts.
