On Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we honor America’s first inhabitants and the Tribal Nations that continue to thrive today.

We continue to advocate our mission of combating racism and colonization, while acknowledging that the land on which we gather is the ancestral territory of the Tunxis, Sicoag, Pocumtuc, Wangunk, Poquonook, Podunk, Quinnipiac, Massacoe and Hammonasset Peoples who have stewarded this land throughout the generations. We also acknowledge the five state & federally recognized tribal nations that exist in Connecticut today: the Mashantucket Pequot, Mohegan, Golden Hill Paugussett, Eastern Pequot, and Schaghticoke people. We support their sovereignty as tribal nations now and into the future.

To learn more about the history of Native American peoples in Connecticut, there are many free resources available! Each nation includes information on their website about their history, as well as links to further resources. There are also a number of museums in Connecticut which curate exhibitions about the history of Native American nations, including the Mashantucket Pequot Museum & Research Center in Mashantucket and Nowashe Village in South Windsor!
