As I mentioned in this episode, there is a document that resides in the library of Hartford which is known as “The Treaty of Hartford” which was ratified in 1638. In it, the arrogance of the English is front and center as they stated that my ancestors and my tribe as a whole would no longer be called “Pequot” and that the remaining ancestors would be sold to other tribes, slavery for the most part. It also states that we would no longer be allowed to speak our Pequot language.” Here is a link to the treaty of Hartford: http://findit.library.yale.edu/bookreader/BookReaderDemo/index.html?oid=10682114#page/1/mode/1up An accounting of the Pequot War as presented by the criminal and murderer of my ancestors,Captain John Mason: http://digitalcommons.unl.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1042&context=etas A summary of the wars that is presented by staff of our Mashantucket Pequot Museum and research center: http://pequotwar.org/2009/10/the-pequot-war/ PLEASE SUPPORT THE PROTESTS OF THE DAKOTA PIPELINE ACCESS: Stay informed! keep an eye on our website for more info: http://www.nativeopinion.com/pipeline Some Sound effects for this show are provided by: https://phoneboy.com/noagenda-ringtones
