Pequot
The Pequot () are a Native American people of Connecticut. The modern Pequot are members of the federally recognized Mashantucket Pequot Tribe, four other state-recognized groups in Connecticut including the Eastern Pequot Tribal Nation, or the Brothertown Indians of Wisconsin.Pritzker, Barry (2000) ''A Native American Encyclopedia: History, Culture, and Peoples'', pp. 656–657. Oxford University Press. . They historically spoke Pequot, a dialect of the Mohegan-Pequot language, which became extinct by the early 20th century. Some tribal members are undertaking revival efforts. The Pequot and the Mohegan were formerly a single group, but the Mohegan split off in the 17th century as the Pequot came to control much of Connecticut. Simmering tensions with the New England Colonies led to the Pequot War of 1634–1638, which dramatically reduced the population and influence of the Pequot; many members were killed, enslaved, or dispersed. Small numbers of Pequots remained in Con ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pequot Language
Mohegan-Pequot (also known as Mohegan-Pequot-Montauk, Secatogue, and Shinnecock-Poosepatuck; dialects in New England included Mohegan, Pequot, and Niantic; and on Long Island, Montaukett and Shinnecock) is an Algonquian language formerly spoken by indigenous peoples in southern present-day New England and eastern Long Island. Language endangerment and revitalization efforts As of 2014, there are between 1,400 and 1,700 recorded tribal members (these figures vary by source). The Mohegan language has been dormant for approximately 100 years; the last native speaker, Fidelia Fielding, died in 1908. Fielding, a descendant of Chief Uncas, is deemed the preserver of the language. She left four diaries that are being used in the 21st-century process of restoring the language. She also took part in preserving the traditional culture. She practiced a traditional Mohegan way of life and was the last person to live in the traditional log dwelling.

Pequot War
The Pequot War was an armed conflict that took place between 1636 and 1638 in New England between the Pequot tribe and an alliance of the colonists from the Massachusetts Bay, Plymouth, and Saybrook colonies and their allies from the Narragansett and Mohegan tribes. The war concluded with the decisive defeat of the Pequot. At the end, about 700 Pequots had been killed or taken into captivity. Hundreds of prisoners were sold into slavery to colonists in Bermuda or the West Indies; other survivors were dispersed as captives to the victorious tribes. The result was the elimination of the Pequot tribe as a viable polity in Southern New England, and the colonial authorities classified them as extinct. Survivors who remained in the area were absorbed into other local tribes. Etymology The name ''Pequot'' is among the Algonquian Language, the meaning of which has been disputed among Algonquian-language specialists. Most recent sources claim that "Pequot" comes from ''Paquatauoq'' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
The Pequot War (book)
The Pequot War is a nonfiction book that reexamines historical sources on the Pequot War that resulted in new interpretations when this work was published in 1996. It was written by Alfred A. Cave and published by the University of Massachusetts Press. Also, this book is part of this university's series entitled: ''Native Americans of the Northeast''. Synopsis Cave challenges previous historical conclusions that the Euro-American Puritans were only motivated by the desire to advance self-interest through material gains in brutally executing the Pequot War. These were material gains such as "greed for Pequot land, wampum, nimal pelts and slaves." Rather, Cave argues that Puritans viewed the Pequots as untrustworthy savages and as a dangerous threat. These feelings led to a war with the Native Americans. Also, it did result in the Puritans and two other Native nations taking control of former Pequot lands and their resources, as well as disenfranchising the Pequot as a recognized s ...
