Fidelia Ann Hoscott Fielding (née Smith; September 15, 1827 – July 18, 1908), also known as Dji'ts Bud dnaca ("Flying Bird"), daughter of Bartholomew Valentine Smith (c. 1811 – 1843) and Sarah A. Wyyougs (1804–1868), and granddaughter of Martha Shantup Uncas (1761–1859),[2] was the last-known speaker of the traditional Mohegan Pequot language.
She married a Mohegan mariner, William H. Fielding (born 1822–died 1889). They lived in one of the last "tribe houses," a reservation-era log cabin dwelling. She was known to be an independent-minded woman who was well-versed in tribal traditions, and who continued to speak the traditional Mohegan Pequot language during her elder years.[3]
