Our Mission and Values

The Mashantucket Pequot Museum and Research Center will strengthen Pequot Culture to honor and serve our Tribal family and friends.

Balance – we value our past which gives us the opportunity to honor our ancestors in an effort to become ancestors worth descending from.

Decolonization – we value and honor the opportunity to continue to decolonize our community,
culture and institutions.

Trust – we value trust, in the creator, in each other and the path we are on.

Relationship – we value all of our relationships,
within our communities, the water, the land and all of our relatives.
