About the Tribal Area

State-recognized Indigenous descent group in Connecticut. Because there is no single federal reservation footprint in the Census tribal-area geography, broadband planning is typically tied to dispersed households, county road access, and nearby regional infrastructure.

Tribal Area Description

Located in Connecticut, Golden Hill Paugussett is a federally recognized tribe with tribal lands. The land base is relevant for broadband planning due to rural service coverage and middle-mile access constraints.
