Connecticut has five indigenous Indian tribes recognized by statute: the Schaghticoke, Paucatuck Eastern Pequot, Mashantucket Pequot, Mohegan, and Golden Hill Paugussett.
The name Connecticut comes from an Algonquian Indian term Quinnehtukqut, meaning “land on and beside the long tidal river.”
All ages are invited.
