e/Schaghticoke (tribe)

Information
has gloss	eng: The Schaghticoke are a Native American tribe of the Eastern Woodlands consisting of descendants of Mahican (also called "Mohican", but not to be confused with the Mohegans), Potatuck (or Pootatuck), Weantinock, Tunxis, Podunk, and other people indigenous to what is now Connecticut, New York, and Massachusetts. They amalgamated after encroachment of white settlers on their ancestral lands. Their 400-acre (1.6 km²) reservation , depleted from its original 2,500 acres, is located on the New York/Connecticut border within the boundaries of Kent in Litchfield County, Connecticut, running parallel to the Housatonic River. It is one of the oldest reservations in North America. The land was granted in 1736 as a reserve to the Schaghticoke by the General Assembly of the Colony of Connecticut, 40 years before the American Revolution. Today the reservation land, a wilderness habitat for rattlesnakes, ruffed grouse, and other animals, is held in trust by the state.
