Mohegan Indian Tribe of Connecticut



Mohegan Indian Tribe of Connecticut

The Mohegan tribe is an Algonquian-speaking tribe that lives in eastern (upper Thames valley) Connecticut. The Mohegan were originally a conjoined tribe with the Pequot until the period of European contact in the 17th century, briefly coming under Pequot rule in the 1630s until the dominant tribe was destroyed in 1637. The tribe gained federal recognition in 1994, and currently operates the Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, Connecticut.
