Pequot Tribe

The Pequot Tribe is a Native American group traditionally from what is now Connecticut. They have a rich history dating back centuries, known for their skilled craftsmanship and strong community ties. In the 17th century, conflicts with English settlers led to the Pequot War, a pivotal event that drastically affected their population and land. Today, the Pequot Nation is federally recognized, managing their own governance, cultural preservation, and economic development through enterprises like casinos. They continue to uphold their traditions while engaging in efforts to revitalize their language, culture, and sovereignty.
