Before their massacre by Massachusetts Puritans in 1637, the
Pequots were preeminent in southern New England. Their location on
the eastern Connecticut shore made them important producers of the
wampum required to trade for furs from the Iroquois. They were also
the only Connecticut Indians to oppose the land-hungry English. For
those reasons, they became the first victims of white genocide in
colonial America.
Despite the Pequot War of 1637, and the greed and neglect of
their white neighbors and "overseers," the Pequots endured in their
ancestral homeland. In 1983 they achieved federal recognition. In
1987 they commemorated the 350th anniversary of the Pequot War by
organizing the Mashantucket Pequot Historical Conference, at which
distinguished scholars presented the articles assembled here.
