The Pequot - Part 2 - Native American Stories

00:00:59

After the Pequot War, the Peace Treaty of Hartford dismembered the tribe and many survivors were sold into slavery or given to neighboring tribes. Decimated by the war, the Pequot split into two bands. The Eastern Pequot survived years of aggression and skirmishes with local militia and now reside in North Stonington, Connecticut. The Bureau of Indian Affairs acknowledged the “Historical Eastern Pequot Tribe” in 2002 but later denied them Federal recognition, which they continue to contest. The Mashantucket recovered hundreds of acres of ancestral land illegally sold in 1856 and Reagan signed a law granting the tribe federal recognition. After running a successful Bingo Hall, the Mashantucket opened the largest Native American Resort Casino and on the 10th anniversary of earning federal recognition, they broke ground on what is now the Pequot Museum where you can learn about their story and the “Pequot spirit of survival”.
