Native American history in New England

I’m late to the party (and probably too late for the OP), but I can recommend the Mashantucket Pequot Museum in Mashantucket, CT (in the southeastern part of the state.) The museum is relatively large (allow 2–3 hours to see it all). It has exhibits explaining the way of life and history of the Mashantucket Pequot tribe; the centerpiece is a large walk-through diorama that recreates a Pequot village in the mid 16th-century.

(I’m not affiliated with this museum in any way; it’s just a local landmark that I think deserves greater recognition.)

One thing coming to mind is a famous attraction near Plymouth, MA, called Plimoth Plantation. One part of the live exhibit is an Indian village reconstructed supposedly as it was when the first “pilgrims” arrived. The village is actively maintained by Indians, who can be engaged in conversation regarding cultural, social and day-to-day life.

The present-day Indians of New England may be best known for their casinos. There are three large ones in Connecticut. (An Act of Congress allows recognized Indian tribes to run gambling games that are not lawful in general; the details, are complicated.) Google shows several Indian museums and a few historical sites in New England, at least one of which is surely subsidized by the casino run by the same tribe, so at least there is some good from all the gambling.
