Thursday, November 30 marks the final day of Native American Heritage Month.

Coming up, we honor the occasion with a tour of the Mashantucket Pequot Museum and Research Center -- a 300,000-plus-square-foot facility in Southeast Connecticut.

There, we wind our way through vivid displays of Native American history and culture.

What makes these exhibitions so critical today? 

GUESTS:

  • Jason Mancini - Director of the Mashantucket Pequot Museum and Research Center
  • Chris Newell - Head of Education at the Mashantucket Pequot Museum and Research Center
