The once fractured membership of the Eastern Pequot Tribal Nation has been getting to know each other since being extended federal recognition last summer.

The Eastern Pequot and the Paucatuck Eastern factions have been split since at least 1973. But they say they are putting their differences aside to advance their goals as one tribe. The new tribal council includes representative of both groups.
