Eastern Pequot Tribal Nation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Eastern Pequot Tribal Nation is a Native American group based in southeastern Connecticut. They, along with the Schaghticoke, are trying to regain federal recognition from the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA). Federal recognition was revoked in October 2005 following legal challenges by the state of Connecticut. BIA recognition was originally granted in 2002 after approval of a merger between two groups, the Paucatuck Eastern Pequots and the Eastern Pequots, as the Eastern Pequot Tribal Nation.
