This is a fact's board and we ask that you back up your statements with facts. Especially as "Native American" isn't a real origin - what tribe?

The last post did give the trive, Wampanoag. Wikipedia has an article on the town named Aquinnah and they site an article from the Boston globe on May 15th, 1997 as a reference for the origin of the name. The article was about the city's name change when it was given a Wampanoag name. I don't know what sources the newspaper used though.
