I had the same thought - Mohegans and Pequot fought over land/territory constantly and land close to their respective “borders” changed hands frequently. I’m sure the same thing happened with other neighboring tribes in nearby states, just not as familiar with their history. So it’s helpful to know when they are basing this map.
On a side note - didn’t Algonquin tribes occupy a bunch of land in New England and NY? Don’t see them on here.

Very interesting, thank you!

True; and I would suspect that there were countless tribes inhabiting Connecticut before the tribes listed on this map even came into existence.

Are the Mohican seen in western CT Algonquin ?
Edit - seemingly yes https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohicans
