Went to the Pequot Indian Reservation at Mashantuket, Connecticut - TopicsExpress



          

Went to the Pequot Indian Reservation at Mashantuket, Connecticut with all-around super librarian and tour guide Tess Battad. Amazed by d life-like wax figures of the majestic native Americans. Empathized with their love for the earth as fellow IPs. Outraged and saddened by their near extinction by colonial Europeans through disease and one-sided battles. But buoyed by their success in getting parity rights with the US govt and managing the worlds biggest casino with royalties for the tribe. Still sad coz of the many societal ills of the modern-day Pequot Indians now living in a reservation, a small piece of a nation they used to wander about freely.
