You Won't Believe What Happened to the Powerful Pequot Tribe

Before the Pilgrims landed, they were the dominant force in southern New England. Discover the untold story of the Pequot Nation, and the shocking events that changed their fate forever.

Once a thriving tribal confederation, the Pequots controlled the critical trade routes between the Dutch and English colonies. But their power made them a target. In 1637, Puritan forces launched a surprise attack on their fort, brutally massacring over 400 men, women and children in just one hour.

The Pequot War decimated the tribe, with survivors scattered and enslaved. It was a haunting prelude to the centuries of violence, disease and forced relocations that would devastate Native American populations across the continent.

Today, the Pequots' remarkable story of resilience lives on through the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation in Connecticut. From their famous Foxwoods Resort Casino to their efforts to preserve their language and culture, see how they're writing a new chapter in their long history.
