This HDTV documentary of the Mohegan Tribe's 17th-Century Sachem was commissioned by the Mohegan Tribe's museum authority and broadcast internationally.
I was fortunate to meet Tantaquidgeon at his museum several times when I was a boy. I used to live on Skyline Dr., where we could see the top of Cochegan Rock from our deck on fall and winter days. I first visited " The Rock" when on a camping trip in the Boy Scouts ( Troop 190 from Quaker Hill) in 1972. I fell in love with the history of it, and it became a place of refuge for me and my friends. I spent many rainy and sleeting nights under the rock thinking about how many of the native Indians had done the same so long ago. Sadly, I never saw any descendants visit. I revisited the top in 1993 by myself, and wept for the lost days of my innocence. I pray the Lord bless and protect that land.
Nice video. Back in the 1950s I occasionally visited Chief Tantaquidgeon at the Museum in Uncasville. He always pronounced Cochegan Rock with a guttural "H" and not a "CH". I always felt an H was closer than a CH for English speakers, despite the anglo spelling.
Why are they drumming a Wabanaki indian song, of the Passamaquoddy, Penobscot, Micmaq and Maliseet? That is not a Mohegan Song... It's a song from Maine and the Maritimes..... :/ ??????
We're here, they didn't do it.....that was bad ass!

Native.Chula69 the same way they present the fake image of what original Pequot and Mohegans looked like, called stolen identity.
