UHart Group Visits Golden Hill Paugussett Reservation

Members of the University of Hartford's "Amplifying Indigenous Voices" committee paid a visit to the home of Clan Mother Shoran Waupatukuay Piper (Golden Hill Paugussett, Trumbull) on Juneteenth Day, June 19.  We learned about her family, tribal culture, and traditions, and saw firsthand how her tribe's land, the oldest continuous reservation in Connecticut, was unlawfully appropriated by the town and is currently occupied by non-tribal suburban residents.

To learn more about the Golden Hill Paugussett Tribe, please join us (virtually) for Clan Mother's book read on two consecutive Wednesdays, August 2 and 9, from noon to 1 p.m.  Email Judy at wyman@hartford.edu to register.  Her book "Red Road: Traditional Voices of Afro-Indigenous America" is available on Amazon.
