Moswetuset Hummock is a Native American site and the original name of the tribe (now Massachusetts) in the region. The wooded hummock in Squantum, Massachusetts, is formally recognized as historic by descendants of the Ponkapoag people. The location was the seat of the ruling Moswetuset Sac'hem (Native American Chief) Chickatawbut and where he would carry out tribal council during the warm season. Members of the Moswetuset (Massachusett) tribe for centuries made the shore of Quincy Bay their seasonal home. Moswetuset translates to 'shaped like an arrowhead'.
