"Native Land Digital" is an indigenous-led, Canadian-based non-profit group seeking to raise awareness of where original Native American tribes owned property. They admit that this is a work in progress, not perfect, and seek corrections. Thought the CT map (with some NY) was quite interesting.Submitted by CTHistory42 t3_10gx1la in Connecticut

I grew up in a part of CT that still had loads of geographic references to Uncas, sachem of the Mohegan’s. I always thought that was cool. According to Wikipedia (maybe dubious source) he lived to 94-95 years old! Born in the late 1500s and died in the late 1600s. That’s so wild to me…. Like George Washington lived in the next century and he didn’t even make it to 70!

I agree.
Also, there are so many references to Native Americans in town names, river names, street names - you name it!
