CareerZobel has served as the storyteller of the Mohegan Tribe and traveled all throughout New England.[4] She has held a number of prestigious tribal positions and elected posts, including the Mohegan Federal Recognition Coordinator from 1992 to 1994 and the first Native American Gubernatorial Appointee to the Connecticut Historical Commission in 1994.[7] As an author, her first recognized work came in 1992, when she was awarded the first annual Non-Fiction Award of the Native Writers' Circle of the Americas.[4][12] This accolade was presented for her manuscript, The Lasting of the Mohegans.[4][12] Zobel later became the first American Indian appointed by Governor Lowell P. Weicker Jr. to the Connecticut Historical Commission.[4] In 1996, Zobel also received the first annual Chief Little Hatchet Award, given in recognition of her efforts in fostering the survival of the Mohegan people.[4] Melissa Tantaquidgeon Zobel lives in Connecticut with her husband and three children.[12] Zobel also won a $10,000 essay contest in 2009 for an essay in which she shared her perspectives on the difficulties and opportunities of the current economic and political landscape.[13][14] Additionally, Zobel won a top national award for "The Accomac Business Model." [13] The contest, called "Native Insight: Thoughts on Recession, Recovery & Opportunity," was sponsored by the Alaska Federation of Natives, in partnership with the National Congress of American Indians and the Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement.[13] Publications
