Meeting federal standards meant providing historical
documentation of our impact and collective identity
as a tribe. Much of Mohegan history is handed down through
oral tradition, so finding the right documents might have
been a big challenge.
Ultimately there was no lack of documentation, with 20,000
pages of documents submitted as part of the process. Collecting
this took years of work by many Tribal members.
Because of our rich and living history, evidence of Mohegan existence
and identity as a tribe is abundant even to the casual observer today
in local place names, family names, historic sites, storytrails,
artifacts and living culture.
