There is a reason so many have never heard of the Pequot tribe. They were massacred by Colonists, Narragansett and Mohegan allies allies back in 1637, a shadow that hanged over Massachusetts for over 200 years.
Then, in 1864, at the height of the Civil War, when Chivington, believing the Cheyenne were instigated by Confederate agents, hit the Cheyennes at Sand Creek, the good citizens of Boston took up a hue and cry for the poor Cheyennes, and smoked the critics off their Pequot massacre.
Now everyone knows about Sand Creek but forget about the Mystic massacre of the Pequots. I hope they do well with their casinos.
Interesting, thanks.
