Mohegan Tribe begins restoration of burial site


The Mohegan Tribe of Connecticut is beginning to restore the burial grounds of Chief Sachem Uncas' family line.

The burial ground is located below a former Masonic Temple. The tribe purchased the site in 1999 for $1.1 million.

The Uncas cemetery was once 16 acres. But only about 3 acres is left for preservation.

As part of the project, the tribe is tearing down the temple. Artifacts and remains removed from the site will be reburied.
