Does achastapac really mean 'land of the great beaver'?
Achastapac or Achatispoag is probably from one of the local Algonquian languages- Pocumtuck, Nipmuck, or Mahican. If so, then the original word would have been heavily Anglicized.The best theory I've seen suggests that the root words are:wadchuash aetai sip ak (oag)mountains both sides river place(people of the)So the meaning is probably something like:"Land with mountains on both sides of a river"Of course, the original meaning could have been very different, but it probably wasn't "Land of the great beaver", since the root word for "beaver" in Algonquian languages is usually something like "amisque" or "tummunk".So, "land of the great beaver" would probably have been something like "Massamiquet".

What is Chicopee?
A city of southwest Massachusetts on the Connecticut River near Springfield. It was founded c. 1641 and set off from Springfield in 1848. Population: 54,700. I can tell you a bit about Chicopee, first it's my hometown, born and raised here. The name is taken from the Nipmuck Tribe of Native Americans who made the area home prior to the settlment of the English. In most Algonquin dialects the name Chicopee likely is derived from the words "chekee" which means violent, and "pe" which means waters. Refering to rapids (violent waters). This theory also makes sense seeing as the Chicopee river runs through the city, and has a fairly strong water fall and area of rapid waters. Another theory is the word Chikkuppee which means (of cedar) or (coming from cedar) so this is another option. Chicopee was the home of General Arthur McCarthur, one of our nations most famous MILITARY GENERALS, and father to the even more well known, General Douglas McCarthur.
Was the Wampanoags the Native American tribe that built an alliance with the Pilgrims?
No, in fact the Narragansett were one of the dominating forces of the region and effectively subjugated the Wampanoag and many other native groups in the area. They expected payment of tribute in the form of shell beads, deer hides, foodstuffs and other goods - so the relationship was like conqueror and conquered. By 1620 the Narragansett were very suspicious of the friendly relationships between the Wampanoag and white settlers. This led eventually to open warfare in 1632 when the Narragansett attacked Wampanoag villages, but they were driven off (with help from the English).

For example, English, Russian, Italian and Icelandic and Hindi and Persian are all in one family. Turkish is a different family.
