The Connecticut General Assembly has introduced a resolution condemning the provisions of the Treaty of Hartford, which was established in 1638 to conclude the Pequot War. This treaty aimed to eliminate the Pequot cultural identity by preventing the Pequot people from returning to their ancestral lands, abolishing their tribal name, and subjecting remaining members to slavery or death. The resolution emphasizes the Assembly's disapproval of these historical actions and their impact on the Pequot tribe.
Furthermore, the resolution expresses the Assembly's commitment to supporting Native American tribes within the state and acknowledges the successful partnerships formed with them. The resolution has been reported favorably by the Government Administration and Elections Committee and is expected to have no fiscal impact on the state or municipalities.
