A groundbreaking volume on the rich 13,000-plus-year history and
culture of Connecticut's indigenous peoples More than 13,000 years
ago, people settled on lands that now lie within the boundaries of
the state of Connecticut. Leaving no written records and scarce
archaeological remains, these peoples and their communities have
remained unknown to all but a few archaeologists and other
scholars. This pioneering book is the first to provide a full
account of Connecticut's indigenous peoples, from the long-ago days
of their arrival to the present day. Lucianne Lavin draws on
exciting new archaeological and ethnographic discoveries,
interviews with Native Americans, rare documents including
periodicals, archaeological reports, master's theses and doctoral
dissertations, conference papers, newspapers, and government
records, as well as her own ongoing archaeological and documentary
research. She creates a fascinating and remarkably detailed
portrait of indigenous peoples in deep historic times before
European contact and of their changing lives during the past 400
years of colonial and state history. She also includes a short
study of Native Americans in Connecticut in the twentieth and
twenty-first centuries. This book brings to light the richness and
diversity of Connecticut's indigenous histories, corrects
misinformation about the vanishing Connecticut Indian, and reveals
the significant roles and contributions of Native Americans to
modern-day Connecticut.
