Mohegan

Type: Concept

As of November 2026, Mohegan has been mentioned in one podcast episode on American History Tellers (Dec 2025).

The Mohegan are an indigenous people based in what became southeastern Connecticut in the United States. They are part of the Eastern Algonquian linguistic and cultural family and historically shared close ties with the neighboring Pequot, from whom they separated in the early 17th century. The Mohegan refer to themselves as the "Wolf People," and their cultural identity is deeply rooted in kinship, spirituality, and a reverent relationship with the natural world.
