The Mashantucket (Western) Pequot Tribal Nation is a federally recognized Indian tribe located at one of America’s oldest Indian reservations, Mashantucket, in Southeastern Connecticut.
As pioneers of the Indian gaming casino industry, the history of the Mashantucket Pequot people reveals one of America’s greatest come-back stories. As one of Connecticut’s highest revenue contributors and largest employers, the Mashantucket Pequots have provided the state more than $4.5 billion in slot revenue through a first-of-its-kind agreement, established in 1993. Likewise, the Tribe has contributed hundreds of millions in donations and sponsorships for the benefit of communities and tribes in need, locally and throughout the U.S.

The tribal seal is a reflection of the Mashantucket Pequot past and a symbol of hope for the future.
Framed against the sky, the lone tree on a knoll represents Mashantucket, the “much wooded land” where the Pequots hunted and kept alive their identity as an independent people. Displayed on the knoll is the signature of Robin Cassasinnamon, the Pequots’ first leader following the 1637 massacre at Mystick Fort. The fox stands as a reminder that the Pequots are known as “The Fox People”.
