Call For Artists: Shaumpishuh Statue Committee

We seek to honor with a statue a woman whose key role in the founding of Guilford and Madison Connecticut is little known. Shaumpishuh was the Quinnipiac sachem (chief) of the Mennunkatuck Band of the Quinnipiac People who for thousands of years lived on the lands that became Guilford and Madison. In 1638 and 1639 Shaumpishuh negotiated agreements with English Colonists as a leader of her people; she fought for the rights of all Quinnipiac throughout her life. Our planned statue will stand in the center of Guilford facing the historic Green as a symbol of remembrance, respect, and reconciliation for the Quinnipiac People and her role in the original history of Guilford, Madison, and the Shoreline Region of Connecticut.
