Numerous tribes, including the the Quinnipiac, Wangunk, Tunxis, Massacoe, Woronocco, Agawam, Nipmuc, Nonotuck, Pocumtuck, and Abenaki, inhabited these lands for hundreds of years. Hiking Indigenous Lands of Connecticut and Massachusetts will guide readers along 40 hikes in both states, with a unique focus on the indigenous history of the lands that each hike traverses.

It will connect the reader to the land while they discover a vibrant and rich culture that persists to the present day. This indigenous history is merged with detailed guidebook information, creating a valuable resource to learn about trails to explore, the history of the land, and the indigenous stories they have to tell.
