The Mashantucket Pequot Museum does an excellent presentation of the history of the Pequot tribe of Connecticut. Our visit there linked our Land of Enchantment tour of the pueblos of New Mexico and the just completed Hudson River Valley. There were similarities to what we learned in New Mexico as well as the history we studied along the Hudson. Tribes lived for thousands of years on the land, Europeans came and won the war. In New Mexico we saw that many tribes continue to live as they have while the Pequot own one of the world’s largest casinos in the world. Their museum reflects the riches they now have.
Here is a photo of their casino taken from the top of the tower at the museum. It is really BIG.
