Définition CISMeF : The Schaghticoke (/ˈskætɨkoʊk/ skat-ə-kohk or /ˈskætɨkʊk/ skat-ə-kuuk) are a Native
American tribe of the Eastern Woodlands who historically consisted of Mahican, Potatuck,
Weantinock, Tunxis, Podunk, and their descendants, peoples indigenous to what is now
New York, Connecticut, and Massachusetts. The remnant tribes amalgamated in the area
near the Connecticut-New York border after many losses. There is a town by the name
of Schaghticoke in New York State, so named because of the confluence of Hoosic and
Hudson Rivers. Their reservation, granted in 1736 by the General Assembly of the
Colony of Connecticut, is one of the oldest in the United States. After sales by state
agents, today the Schaghticoke hold less than a fifth of the original reserve, and
have a 400-acre (1.6 km²) reservation [1]. It is located near the New York border
within the boundaries of Kent in Litchfield County, to the west of the Housatonic
River. The land is held in trust by the state for the tribe. In 1986, the tribe split
one group maintained the name Schaghticoke Indian Tribe (SIT) and the other calls
themselves the Schaghticoke Tribal Nation (STN). The Schaghticoke people have a long
history of political relationships with both the former Colony of Connecticut and
the State. Most of the members live off the reservation in and near Kent. In 2004,
the STN was the fourth tribe in Connecticut to gain federal recognition. But, in 2005,
after a strong opposition from the state and several local governments as well as
one landowner, several Schaghticoke individuals and the SIT, the Bureau of Indian
Affairs (BIA) reversed its decision. (source Wikipédia);
