Connecticut Women's Hall of Fame

Connecticut is so rich in Native American history! During November, we will celebrate this history by sharing some of our amazing inductees featured in our Spirit of The Mohegans Talk, which is directed to elementary school students. CWHF 1994 Inductee Fidelia Hoscott Fielding (1827-1908) is considered the last speaker and preserver of the Mohegan Pequot language. Around the turn of the 20th century, Frank Speck, an anthropology student at Columbia University, sought out Fielding in his effort to salvage what remained of a dying language. After her death, he translated four of her diaries and they are now preserved in the archives of the National Museum of the American Indian in New York City. On May 24, 1936, an estimated 1,000 people gathered at the Ancient Burial Grounds of the Mohegans at Fort Shantok State Park in Montville, CT, to pay tribute to Fidelia Hoscott Fielding. Recently, the Mohegan Language Project has begun to recover and revitalize the lost language of the Mohegan Tribes. Working from materials compiled and archived by Fielding and Speck, linguists are piecing together the language in hopes of bringing it back into use among new generations.
