The "Mystic"
is a recent name.

Missi-tuck has been around since before the Pequots named and loved her. The Mystic River and the upstream lakes, streams and brooks flow through the lands of the Mashuntucket and Eastern Pequots, whose friendship and participation in this Alliance honors the rest of us.
