ton of buildings was expended in building a house for the teacher, the expense of the erection of the chapel was defrayed by private subscriptions obtained principally in Norwich.
 Indian Women Gave Land.
 The land on- which the chapel was built was given by two Mohegan fe- males, Cynthia Hascott and Lucy Tee Comwas. One hundred dollars annu- ally was contributed by the Home Mis- sionary society, and this sum. with the appropriation by the general govern ment, was sufficient to hire a capa ble teacher. In the spring or summer of 1891 the chapel was finished and not long after the services of Rev. Anson Gleason were obtained, and he settled among them as pastor of the church gathered there of Indians and whites. The lot on which the chape: was erected was situated on the east side of the old turnpike road from Norwich to New London and nearly opposite the old Indian fort on Fort Hill The lot is square, being eight rods in length on each side The donors con veyed it by deed to the Mohegan tribe of Indians, and with the land the right of way to the aforesaid turnpike. The Indians expressed surprise that the whites should pay any attention to their wants after having so long neg Iected them, and were suspicious that their present conduct was prompted entirely by some selfish and pecuniary motive.

l tives of the soil When first known by the English these native settlers were sunk in darkness. ignorance and stu pidity.
 Rev. James Fitch appears to have been the first to be touched with pity for their condition and spared no pains to alleviate it, both as to their spiritual and temporal plight From the time when the colonial assembly requested Rev. MT. Fitch to teach Uncas and his family Christianity to the present time philanthropists have been raised up who have made the Mohegan tribe their special care. And from the first, though but little impression could be made. upon the native chief by his friend, Rev. Mir. Fitch, yet many of the tribe have given evidence of con- version. Miss Sarah Huntington, whose memoirs have made her name widely known as benefactor of her race, living at Norwich, and being within a few miles of the Mohegans, became about the year 1927 strongly interested in the moral and physical condition of the tribe and set herself to work to lift them from their depth of ignorance and degradation into which they had fallen during the quar- ter of a century of past neglect. This interest was shared by another female of similar spirit. Miss Sarah Breed. of the same place. By the summer of 1880 two Christian ladies had estab- lished Sabbath school at Mohegan TOT the purpose or LcdCnlnS the Indian children. They taught by turn, walk ing for that purpose from their homes in Norwich, a distance of four or five miles. The school was cy:ened at the Samson Occum house, then occupied by his relative.
 A Chapel for the Indians.
 A plan was set on foot to build a. chapel for the Indians and hire mis- sionary who should settle permanently among them. Subscription lists were circulated and several hundred dollars were collected. From the fund for promoting the civilization of the In- dians" five hundred dollars were ap propriated for the erection of build ings at Mohegan for school purposes, and an equal amount annually for the support of a teacher.
