THEIR CLAIMS AGAINST STATE.

THEIR CLAIMS AGAINST STATE.

Yesterday the survivors aud descend
ants Of the Narraganse't tribe OF Indians
met in consu ltation tlic old reservation
in Charlestown. the object OF the meeting
being the discus si n of claim against
the state of Rhode Island.
Twelve ars ago the NarraRansett
Indians abandoned their tribal firm OF
government. dil solved their council or
five, sold their reservation AID became
citizens OF the state of Rhode Island. The
state took their church and their school
house. for before that none but Indians
could enter the church, and none but
Indian Children were taught mt the school
building. Bat the tribe could OF sup
port the poor and the various institu-
tons. aud under the advice OF the old
men the Indians dissolved their govern
ment. The state paid $1,000 to the tribe
for the reservation lands and this was d'-
vided among the members. The Indians
for that amount sold more than they
we're aware Of. or at least SO they claim.
what the Indians Say.
Old Joshua Noka. member OF the last
Narragansett council, says that the tribe
did not agree to sell the ponds. But the
state has them. according to the deed.
Long ago the sachems Of the tribe had
sci off 10 the various chiefs lots OF land
for dwelling places. These grants were
all allowed by the State, and many OF the
Indians have since sold their land. The
wording OF the deed conveying the res
ervation to the Stite Includes these
words: "The Indian c,uacil quit claim
aud lease lands wit hn the Indian res
ervation, AMI all their other tribal rights
and claims OF whatsoever name and
nature an wherever situated"
Ia 1909. Nineget, then sachem OF the
Narragansetts, made treaty in which
he gave up lands and retained ten rods
along the shore from Pawcstuck to Paw
tuxet for the fishing privileges Of his
people. The Indians today have u copy
OF the deed Id which the ,chem re.
linquished his right to some lands and
retained 9th .rs. They want ths others.
e George Carmichael, who was one Of the
Indian co nmissoners, says that there
was al undersI anding that when further
proofs of the claim should b, presented,
that portion OF the deed which releases
everything to the state should be con-
sidered void.
Result OF tho Meeting.
The meeting yesterday heard the mat-
ter discussed in ali It's phases. 1t II
largely tradition, stories sent out from
one geaeration to generation. There was
q chairman aud n secretary, aud each OF
the older men related some story to prove
the authenticity OF their claim. They
had no records. but they knew that they
we're right. 1t was explained that the
claim Is In charge of a com mission. Mr..
A Anmons had figured out what the claim
should bring to the tribe. The figures
we're $l,075. 600.
The result Of the meeting was the ap-
pointment OF committee to confer with
a legislative committee.
