Tatobem's place of death was set to Sweet Grass, Montana. That seems both unlikely and unlikely to have been documented for a man on the Eastern Seaboard in this period.

I've locked the death place as blank. If someone has a primary source, we can add it.

Just coming across this now myself, and yes, this makes no sense. I've removed the Montana location, which was locked in on the profile.

I know the Mohegans a lot better than the Pequots, but my understanding is that Tatobem was betrayed and killed by the Dutch in Hartford. This entry roughly matches that story -- it says Sassacus took over in 1633 after his father was killed.

I'll see if I can find something definitive and get it added. For now, I'll set the death location as Connecticut.
