In 1992, Tribal archaeologists discovered the remains of a 17th-century Pequot fort several hundred yards from the site of the Mashantucket Pequot Museum.  The Explore the Fort at Mashantucket interactive takes you on a guided tour of this ancient site with the help of 3D computer animation. In the Algonquian Languages interactive exhibit, Native speakers of such Algonquian languages as Ojibwe, Micmac and Passamaquoddy share stories in their Native languages. Did you ever wonder how Native people found their food, medicine and materials before the arrival of Europeans?  In the Woodland Resources interactive exhibit, you can explore how Native people made use of the plants and animals of the Northeast woodlands.  See All the Interactive Exhibits on Your Next Visit to the MPMRC The permanent exhibits at the Mashantucket Pequot Museum and Research Center feature six unique interactive exhibits that allow you to explore topics ranging from the natural history of southern New England to the social and cultural history of the Mashantucket Pequots.  The computer interactive program A World of Ice permits visitors to move between screens showing landforms of North America, southern New England and the Mashantucket Pequot Reservation, revealing how glaciers changed these landforms 18,000 years ago. Fast-paced graphics of advancing and retreating glaciers are featured, documentary video and animation also are accessible. The Caribou Hunt program brings to life the Caribou Kill diorama depicting an 11,000-year-old hunting scene. This animated version enhances interpretation of the scene, explaining the strategy of the hunt, the methods used to drive caribou, and the techniques of butchering. The Woodland Resources program examines an autumn diorama of woodland vegetation and animals found 6,000 years ago. Visitors can identify species they see in the diorama and see how the Pequot ancestors used these resources. This is one of four seasonal dioramas. Visitors to the Algonquian Languages interactive can experience Native speakers of Algonquian languages telling stories in their native tongues. Stories and vocabulary are available in a variety of languages, including Micmac, Passamaquoddy, Ojibwe and Abenaki. The interactive Explore the Fort at Mashantucket provides a 3-D re-creation of a 17th-century Pequot fort, discovered in 1992 on the reservation at Mashantucket. Visitors can "navigate" through the fort as it appeared 300 years ago, see documentary video, and identify artifacts found there. The Changing Reservation program traces Pequot history from 1636, the year the Pequot War began, to the present. Visitors can navigate along timelines and watch animation of the evolving territory. Documentary video, in which historians, archeologists and tribal members describe particular events and trends, is available along the way.
