Researching Connecticut's Native and Indigenous Peoples at the Bridgeport History Center
Researching Connecticut’s Native and Indigenous Peoples at the Bridgeport History Center by Meg Rinn November 2020 Conducting Research on Connecticut’s Native and Indigenous Peoples at the Bridgeport History Center The City of Bridgeport was originally occupied by the Paugussett people, who are now recognized as the Golden Hill Paugussett Indian Nation by the State of Connecticut. Their history and ownership of the land informs both local history and Connecticut’s. The Paugussett did not live in isolation either – there are currently five Indian Nations recognized within the state. Only the Mashantucket Pequot Tribe and the Mohegan Tribe are federally recognized. In discussing the history of Connecticut’s original residents, it is best practice to defer to their history and perspective, allowing them to speak for themselves. This guide is meant to provide routes for people to educate themselves on the basic history of the Golden Hill Paugussett Indian Nation and the other Nations of Connecticut. As an archival institution, the Bridgeport History Center firmly supports the Protocols for Native American Archival Materials. Works by the Golden Hill Paugussett Indian Nation and other Connecticut Tribes The western world view of knowledge – that it should be free and open no matter what – is often at odds with Native and Indigenous approaches. Some information is privileged and meant to be secret no matter what. With respect to this and the fact that non-Native sources often try to share histories by speaking over their subjects, this guide privileges the perspective of the Golden Hill Paugussett and other Connecticut Nations by placing resources created by them first. -

County Word List Vocabulary Sheet
Native American County Vocabulary Native American contributions are all around us. They are most evident in the many place names around Connecticut. Learn about your neighborhood with this list of towns, schools, rivers, and more! If you would like to make an activity out of this packet, have students circle all of the words and/or locations they are familiar with. Then, discuss or write about how the meaning of the word reflects what is in that area. What plants, animals, and other resources are present? What activities could you do in that location, and what activities do you think Native people completed there in the past? If the word meaning does not make sense, think about how the land may have changed since a thousand years ago, and why it changed that way.
