The success of tribal casinos in Connecticut and economic development efforts by the state's two federally recognized tribes have helped contribute to the increase of American Indians and Alaska Natives in the southern New England region.

In Connecticut, there are about 9,600 American Indians, according to the Census 2000. This is a 50 percent increase from 1990.
