Dolbeare Burial Ground
One of the more difficult issues the Mohegan Tribe has dealt
with over the years is the desecration of burial grounds. One
such instance was when the state took control of the Shantok
lands, and removed the grave markers from the George and
Hannah Dolbeare family, including those of their eight children.
The Museum Authority was able to locate the actual Dolbeare
graves. In 2001, the Tribe replaced the grave markers back to
their original locations, restoring the integrity of this final resting
place.
