If you travel around
the internet, read some of the newest books about my people, watch television
or try to follow someone's genealogy, it ends up as everybody is related to the
first leader of the Mohiigan’s native people, Uncas, Mohiigan.
Shechaim Uncas, (son
of Owaneco a Pequot), Shechaim Owaneco (son of Uncas), Attawanhood (Joshua son
of Uncas), John Uncas (son of Uncas), Shechaim Cesar Uncas (son of Owaneco),
Shechaim Isaiah Uncas. Ben Uncas, Ben Uncas 2nd, Ben Uncas 3rd.
Question?
Whatever happened to
the Pequot's that followed Chief (Shechaim) Poquiam (Unkas) away from Sachem
Sassacus, settled on the west side of the Pequot river and followed Shechaim
Poquiam (Unkas) their new Shechaim now known as Uncas?
Remember that there
was well over one hundred warriors and their women and children.
Once these people
excepted Uncas as their leader, he became their Shechaim, they became the old
long gone original Mohiingan' s and his people, the tribe that was forced from
their old homeland along the great lakes. As usual with non natives doing the recording,
the name changed down through the years and we became known as the Mohiigan’s.
Now we must back up a little further into our past and we will find that the
Pequot's were first called the Pequins ( Dutch name for destroyer), however, we
know that they are really a farming peaceful tribe known as the Mohiingan
people, forced to leave their home up and over to the west at the Great Lakes
that through the years learned from their enemy how to fight for their lives.
Someone needs to
explain to these “Decedents” that it is not necessary to be of royal blood to
be a Casino Indian?
While we are on the
subject, I would like to know who told our people that there were no more
Mohiigan’s Shechaim after Shechaim Ben Uncas the 3rd and what happened to the
rest of the Royal blood line?
I know what
happened, what I want is for those saying that there are no more to please
explain?
A quick word about
our New England people.
Patriarchy/Matriarch
Society?
The original people
of this area were all of a Matriarch family, as in filtering, annihilation,
assimilation and pollution set in now some are of the Patriarchy and no longer
our people.
