You are remembered fondly!

The Native American Community as a whole has truly lost one of its finest personages...Gladys Tantaquidgeon's passing will leave a large void that will take many generations to fill...Our sympathies to her family and people.

In the 50's and 60's my mother was a teacher at Samuel Huntington School in Norwich. Every year without exception she took her class to see Chief Harold and Gladys Tantaquidgeon. The Indian history was an integral part of Mother's teaching curriculum. How wonderful that Gladys lived to see some dreams become reality. What a heritage. May she comfort all of us in the days to come..

I remember Gladys and Chief Harold when I visited the museum as a 7 or 8 yr old Brownie Girl Scout. The fur lined birthing pit to squat over, the whole experience left a great impression and appreciation. Blessings to you as you remember her. Cathie formerly from Willimantic CT.

Having the opportunity to work with Glady's family and freinds for the past 9 years at Mohegan Sun, I can only imagine what a great woman she must have been. I did not have the pleasure of meeting her in person however I have heard many great things about her. I am deeply saddened by her loss for all the Mohegan Tribe. She was truly a most honorable lady.

I had the great pleasure of taking care of Miss. Gladys Tantaquidgeon for a few years and I enjoyed every moment of my time with her. She was an amazing women. She had the most mild,meek and loving personality. She lived a good clean life and it was evident...

I did not have the honor of knowing Gladys Tantaquidgeon, what I know of her I have read about in the last few days. There was Mother Theresa, Rosa Parks, and Gladys Tantaquidgeon all women of great strength of spirt. I am Blessed because I know they are all "my sisters." Celebrate her life.

You will be missed by many.

I have many fond memories of Gladys
and her brother Harold when I was a cub scout I made several trips to
their museum.
Her family and the Mohrgan's have our deepest sympethy.
