	The Pequot
		Most of the captured Pequot warriors were executed, and the English sold the remainder as slaves to the West Indies.Some of the women and children were distributed as "servants" to colonial households in New England.
		The Pequot brought 140 fathoms of wampum to the post for Tatobem's release, which Elekens accepted, but having expected beaver rather than these strange little shell beads, he killed Tatobem, and all that the Pequot got in exchange for their wampum was his dead body.
		The 180 Pequot captured near Fairfield were distributed as slaves: 80 to the Mohegan; 80 to the Narragansett; and 20 to the Eastern Niantic.

		MASHANTUCKET PEQUOT RESERVATION, Connecticut (CNN) -- A new museum, a monument to Pequot tribal history, opened this week, offering dramatic proof of the tribe's resurrection and its new wealth.
		Now, there are almost 600 members of the tribe living here, and its history has been brought to life in a $193-million museum that features life-size dioramas of Native American life through the centuries.
		Once thought to be almost obliterated, the Pequots started moving back to the reservation in the Connecticut woodlands in the 1970s and began a renewed struggle to make a living on their tribal land.

	Revenge of the Pequots
		At 10:00 A.M., the call went through and an official-sounding voice told Mashantucket Pequot tribal chairman Richard "Skip" Hayward to "stand by, for the president." A moment of American history as significant as this, Hayward figured, was certainly worth waiting for.
		And the Mashantucket Pequots, owners of the world's most profitable casino — just north of Hayward's office in the woods of southeastern Connecticut —; were at the center of it all.
		There was such a shortage of workers that the Pequots had to create their own "academy" to train potential employees, since the local high schools did not offer vocational training in dealing craps and fljack.

	Common-place: Still Pequot After All These Years
		The tribe's answer came six years later, with the opening of the Mashantucket Pequot Museum and Research Center (MPMRC), an extraordinary, tribally owned-and-operated museum of New England Indian history and culture, built at a cost of $193.4 million.
		Unlike the elites whose cultures lend themselves to object-driven museums, the Mashantucket Pequots are, as Research Director Kevin McBride puts it, "story rich and artifact poor." To address this challenge, the museum's creators used a combination of technologically enhanced displays and recreated three-dimensional objects to bring the past to life.
		In their museum, the Pequots offer a public affirmation of their identity as Pequots, one in which the 1637 massacre figures as the defining event, and subsequent migration, intermarriage, and racial divergence are irrelevant.

		The Mashantucket Pequots also were one of the first, if not the first, to have a resident archaeologist — Kevin McBride — on staff.
		Secondly, the reason why the Mashantucket Pequots avoided the Federal recognition petition route through the Bureau of Indian Affairs was because it was slow and bureaucratic and few Indian nations at this time had wended their way through it.
		The latter, and surrounding lands, were included because of Pequot fears of future development in the area since there were circular depressions, unmarked graves, outside the bounds of the cemetery in the vicinity of Fanning Road.
