As with any culture, traditions and symbols serve to connect us
to our history, our spiritual life and each other. One of the
tragedies for many Indian tribes is that years of repression
have caused these traditions to be lost. Still, one of the most
unifying traditions for the Mohegan people survives today. The
Wigwam, or Green Corn Festival is all at once a celebration of
thanks, a symbol of Tribal survival and the chance to feel
connected to other Tribal members, past and present. It is
held at the end of summer, with the corn harvest.
