What a weekend! Kutaputush to everyone who joined us at Schemitzun. It was a joy meeting relatives and friends from across Turtle Island and beyond, sharing the offerings of the Mashantucket Pequot Museum, introducing folks to the traditional game Hubbub, and promoting alongside our partner Kay from the Association on American Indian Affairs.

We’re grateful for the conversations, the connections, and the energy you brought. We look forward to welcoming you back to the Museum soon — there’s so much more to explore, learn, and experience together.
