Talk:Blackstone River

Name
"The original native American name for the river was the 'Kittacuck', which meant 'the great tidal river'. The 'Kittacuck', or Blackstone, was plentiful with Salmon and Lamprey in pre-colonial and colonial times."

Can anyone verify the "Kittacuck" name claim? I cannot find a single web reference that isn't circular to this or the Uxbridge, Massachusetts Wikipedia article (also uncited). Nothing in my local history book either. Rhavasy (talk) 04:50, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

Poorly written. Clearly the author is passionate about the Blackstone River but witty word play and short one liners do not belong in an encyclopedia entry 2600:740A:3:5315:70C0:F0C:FB3F:935A (talk) 21:25, 11 September 2022 (UTC)


 * I attempted to clean this section up -- it still needs a lot of citations but I hope the wording is more Wikipedia appropriate. DuckWrangler97 (talk) 13:30, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
