Wordplay is as follows. It's a double meaning. A plural noun which, starting with an upper case "C" names a native American tribe which gave its name to a confederacy when it joined some other tribes, and with a lower case "c", the solution can mean bays or inlets.

Does anyone know what the "three pairs and one trio" in the preamble is all about?

It refers to the number of words in the phrases that the unclued answers make.

Sorry AJT, still don't get it. E.g. one of the titles has 6 words. How does that fit in with the preamble?

Sorry, I explained it badly; eg 4d is 3 words, then 3d and24d (2 words) make up the phrase.

Alles klar. Thanks AJT.
