The Mohegan/ECSU field school is a rare opportunity to work directly with members of the Mohegan tribe and its tribal government as well as members of other tribal nations. Each project is authorized directly by the Mohegan Council of Elders and operates under the supervision of the tribe’s Cultural and Community Programs Department.
Besides learning excavation techniques and the broad expanse of Mohegan history, the program concentrates on exploring the relationship between archaeologists and Native Americans, both past and present, through a Native American lecture series. Professionals, scholars and dignitaries from mostly local tribes speak to the students about their various areas of expertise. In recent years, there has been a good mix of Native and Non-Native students which has helped to enhance the experience for both. Together we are building a new basis for cooperation and partnership as we explore the past for future generations.
