Pequot Nation

right|300px -During the Pequot war he battled with Connecticut and was virtually killed. Or at least everyone thought he was dead until he reappeared in the 1900's when his people reorganized to revive him.
-Connecticut was surprised to see him still alive and recognized Pequot as a nation in 1983. Pequot has an official home at Connecticut's place.
-The Englishman he killed which got him in trouble with Massachusetts (basically the event which really set off the Pequot war) was a mistake. He'd been having an argument with New Netherlands and thought he was killing a Dutch man.
-I can't remember the details right now and need to research this for certain, but supposedly one of Pequot's rivals purposely manipulated some of the events which lead to the war between him and Connecticut. The rival wanted the powerful Pequot to be taken down a few notches if not destroyed entirely. (which pretty much happened.)
