What does harraseeket mean in English?
Harraseeket is an English attempt to say a native American river name. This is likely to be in an Abenaki dialect, but the meaning has been variously reported as "full of obstacles" or "river of many fish" - clearly both of these can not be correct.
The final -et is a common locative ending used in many place names.
The Abenaki word for fish is namas (nam- being the general and widespread Algonquian term for fish); the word for river is sibo or -tegw; many is kasi- or msali- and obstacle is adel-. Clearly none of these seem to feature in Harraseeket.
It is likely that early settlers misheard the river name, or recorded it incorrectly, or it became garbled in the following centuries. The true meaning and the original name are lost.

Why did many trappers learn Native American languages and customs?
Traders, explorers, artists, mountain men, fur trappers and many others learned at least some words in native languages, as well as the tribal customs and habits. These is entirely natural for individuals alone in a wilderness populated by people with entirely different languages and lifestyles.
Communication is vital in such situations in order to avoid misunderstandings that could be fatal.
Another factor is that many white people could genuinely foresee a time when the native population was either exterminated or "civilised" and their lifestyle would be gone for ever; one of these was the artist and explorer George Catlin, who even in the 1830s could see that the "Wild West" would very soon be gone. He wanted to visit, explore, record languages and collect artifacts in order to preserve some elements of the native cultures.
Traders and trappers lived among the natives for many years at a time and many married native women; it is no surprise that they learned languages and customs (although many never did correctly understand what they learned).
