Thank you for your attention

If you visit the place where the Pocumtuck plant their corn and look to the east, you can see the body of the great beaver. The head is called "Wequamps" or "Mount Sugarloaf." You can also see where its neck was broken. The body of the beaver lies along the landscape. This is the story of the Amiskwôlowôkoiak, the people of the beaver-tail hill.
