Brothertown Indian Language
The Brothertown Nation is a confederation of Algonquian-speaking tribes of Connecticut, Massachusetts and New York.
The Brothertown Indians migrated west from New England in the early 1800's and resettled in Wisconsin,
where their descendants still live today. Tribes represented among the Brothertown Indians included
the Mohegan, Pequot, Montauk, Narragansett, and Niantic. Although these languages are no longer
spoken natively among the Brothertown Indian people, the tribe is beginning to work together with the
Mohegan tribe on reviving the Mohegan language
