TNB->Pequot Indians: Gambling success brings controversy for Mashantucket Pequot tribe
Posted on Tuesday, June 10 @ 21:17:58 PDT (259 reads)

AUTHOR: Claudia Parsons
Most of the past 400 years have been miserable for the Mashantucket Pequot. Almost annihilated by English settlers and the smallpox, the survivors were enslaved and scattered. Reduced to just a few dozen members by the 1970s, they grew lettuce and tapped maple syrup, living in poverty in trailers on a scrap of Connecticut woods.
Gambling has changed all that.

AUTHOR: RICK GREEN, The Hartford Courant
The federal Bureau of Indian Affairs granted final recognition this afternoon to a single Eastern Pequot tribe, effectively telling two rival factions of Indians to work together if they want to open a casino in southeastern Connecticut.
The decision is sure to launch a new round of court battles, from towns opposing the recognition to the tribes themselves. The two tribes, the Eastern Pequots and the Paucatuck Eastern Pequots, each had sought federal recognition and each has expressed interest in opening a gambling facility similar to the Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun casinos.

At the time of first sustained contact with the Indians of southern New England—that is, the early 1600s—the Pequots controlled a sizable portion of what is now eastern Connecticut. Beginning near New London, their territory extended northward along the ridge that separates the Thames and Connecticut Rivers to the headwaters of the Thames. From that point their territory ran to the present-day border between Rhode Island and Connecticut, and from there south to Long Island Sound, including the eastern part of Long Island. The total area encompassed some two thousand square miles.
