Silverstar — 2008

Silverstar (c.1881 - 1955) has said, "The Creator made each of us a unique individual and gave to each of us a unique talent.  Our job is to find that talent within ourselves and use it to make a positive contribution to the world and to the circle of which each of us is a part." he was the leader of both the Paucatuck Eastern Pequot Indian Tribe of North Stonington, CT and the Mashantucket Western Pequot Tribe of Ledyard, CT. Silverstar was very proud of his Native American heritage. He held public Powwows to help educate non-Natives in the ways and beliefs of his people and of other tribes. Silverstar also visited schools frequently to speak to children about Native American culture.
