Description of Brothertown
This collection comprises records of the Brothertown Indian Nation, an amalgamation of indigenous peoples from the Mohegan, Pequot, Niantic, Narrangansett, Montaukett, and Tunxis tribes from southern New England and New York. Beginning in 1775 the Brothertown settled in today's Deansboro, New York, on land granted them by the Oneida.
