Saukiog

Native American tribe


The Saukiog tribe (sometimes spelled Sickaog or Suckiaug[1]) was a Native American people who lived in the Hartford, Connecticut vicinity around the early 17th century.[2]

The Saukiog spoke an Algonquian dialect and were part of the Algonquian confederation.[1] In 1636, sachem (chief) Sequassen sold their land to the British.[2] Some Saukiog may have subsequently joined the Mattabeseck, and after 1650, the Pocumtuc tribes.[citation needed]
