PAUGUSSET — PAVI0T80 



fB. A. 



Paugusset ( ' where the narrows open 

 out.' — Trumbull). A small Algonquian 

 tribe in Connecticut, on Housatonic r., 

 near the mouth of the Naugatuck. Their 

 principal village, Paugusset, was on the 

 E. side of the river. They had a fortress 

 on the E. bank about half a mile above 

 the Naugatuck, and another in Milford. 

 Ruttenber makes them a part of the 

 Wappinger confederacy, and says they 

 were subject to the Mattabesec. They 

 claimed a tract on both sides of the lower 

 Housatonic, extending up to Newtown, 

 but sold most of their lands about 1660. 

 Besides their principal village they had 

 Turkey Hill Village, Pauquaunuch, Nau- 

 gatuck, and Poodatook. The whole tribe 

 numbered perhaps 700 or 800. In 1762 

 they had mainly retired to Scaticook, 

 farther up the river, where the survivors 

 then numbered 127, while about 60 were 

 still in their old homes. Several mixed- 

 blood families are said to survive near 

 Bridgeport, Conn. (j. m. c. t. )

Pauhagen. One of the New England 

 names of the menhaden, or mossbuhker 

 {Alosa menhaden); also a sort of mack- 

 erel bait made of chopped or ground 

 fish. Trumbull (Natick Diet., 69, 1903) 

 derives the word from pSkangan {pwkan- 

 gan) intheAbnaki dialect of Algonquian, 

 said to signify 'fertilizer'; but this is re- 

 garded as very doubtful by Gerard, who 

 says the fish called by Rasles pSkangane 

 cannot be identified. Other spellings are 

 paughaden, poghaden, pauhaugen. See 

 Menhaden, Pogy, Porgy. (a. p. c. ) 



Pauhuntanuc. An Abnaki village in 

 1614, probably on or near the coast of 

 Maine.

Pauma. A former Luiseno rancheria 

 on San Luis Rey r., San Diego co., Cal. ; 

 pop. 106 in 1865. The name is now also 

 applied to a reservation of 250 acres of un- 

 patented land, with 67 inhabitants, which 

 was under the Mission-Tule consolidated 

 agency until 1903, when the agency was 

 divided and Pauma placed under the 

 Pala agency (Ind. Aff. Rep., 125, 1865; 

 ibid., 175, 1902). The Pauma rancheria 

 seems to have existed at least as early as 

 1795 (Grijalva cited by Bancroft, Hist. 

 Cal., I, 563, 1886), when it is mentioned 

 under the form Pamua.
