Hayward, a former pipefitter who led the tribe for 23 years, has rarely been seen on the reservation since being deposed as the Pequot leader several years ago. The rest of the 70-member Hayward clan say they, too, have been shunned by the Pequot family that now controls the tribal government. After years of infighting, the Haywards say they have been demoted, fired, pushed out of jobs. Several say it has gotten so bad that they are thinking of moving away from land they fought to reclaim. ... |publisher=New York Times |date=November 3, 1998 |accessdate=2007-06-21 ] He is the grandson of Elizabeth George (?-1973), who was one of the two Mashantucket Pequots to remain on the reservation.
