With the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation.

The Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation, with over 1,000 enrolled members, is actively engaged in historical research, education, and cultural preservation. The tribe's efforts are centered around the Mashantucket Pequot Museum and Research Center, which documents the tribe's enduring presence in the region and its history of resilience in the face of colonization and discrimination. The museum aims to honor the tribe's connection to the land and serves as a resource for the tribal community, sister tribal nations, and the general public. The Pequot historians interviewed emphasize the importance of shared responsibility in preserving and sharing history, and advocate for a more balanced and fair approach to policies related to cultural preservation. They also express the need for accurate and respectful education about Native American history in school curricula. [Extracted from the article]
