Saukiog

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]}
