The Schaghticoke Tribal Nation was formally recognized by the US government in January 2004. It has a 400-acre reservation at the foot of Schaghticoke Mountain in northwestern Connecticut (town of Kent).
The Bureau of Indian Affairs calls the Schaghticoke "an amalgamation of the Weantinock and Potatuck". The Schaghticoke have lived in northwestern Connecticut since before the Revolutionary War, in which they fought as a group on the American side.
