Mohegan Indian Burial Ground
|
|---|
|
The Mohegan Indians of Connecticut, are related to but separate from the Mohican, or Mahican, who lived along the Hudson, in New York. The Mohegan Sachem, Uncas, joined with the English against other tribes during the Indian Wars (1637-78). The Mahicans moved to Wisconsin and lost their tribal identity. The Mohegans remained in the area around Mohegan, Connecticut, and maintained their identity. Uncas, a Mohegan chief, is a prominent character in James Fenimore Cooper's "The Last of the Mohicans". He is memorialized at Cooper's home in Cooperstown, NY, and by the City of Norwich. Founded in 1659, Norwich has a rich Colonial history, extending back as far as the Mohegan Tribe from whom the land was purchased. The tribe's Royal Burial Ground is situated off Hwy 32 near Sachem and Washington Streets. This was the interment site for the tribe's most esteemed leaders, including their great chief, Uncas.
