EDITORIAL
by the EDITOR
It is pleasant to review our tribal members, who are mlrching
along wit11 the current events of the time, and not lagging on behind.
Kend and shoulders up, we find Deer Heart of New York City, a
young lady in her twenties, directing from her desk, the running of
three I)ig Ilotels. She is not the proprietor, but s secretary wit11 a
il~
rcsl)onsil)ilities, wl~ichshe attends to with quick. alert,
n r l ~ n l i ~of
polile 1)rrsincsslilte manner. She knows all t h a t is happening around.

Mr. Louis hiitchell, son of Dora Noka. Blitcl~ell,for very ninny
years \vitli the Providence Buick Con~pany,has his cozy little 30-foot
boat out for the season, looking fresh and ncw1 wit11 its new clean
\\:hite paint and bright red deck chairs, cushions and rugs. :I fe\v
choice Narra.gansetts will a-yatching go.
I n a pleasant law office in the city of Providence, on Weybosset
Street, for many years, Janles M. Stockett, descendant of old lines of
Narragausetts, has practiced law and kept abreast of t h e times very
successfully. His rnain hobby for a t least ten years has been the
Ilrlping and caring for a little cripple boy. This stern faced lawyer
s;~ys, this investnlent ha5 brought him the biggest returns and the
I I ? C S ~satisfi~.ction,
for the little boy has thrown away his crutches and
can \valk alone.
Marjoty Dove has a new job and nianages well to take good care
of one young lady; while her brother Ferris is enlployed in Pliilildelphia. Her young brother Philip \vho had gradun.ted from \Vesterly
Higli plans to join the navy.

Highwny in Na.qonville, after two years in Oakland. With him is his
brother Pr;~ncis,1v11o is also a musician, having maintained for ten

Miss Clam Peckhaln appeared in "Town Talk" colirmn of tile
Westerl?j Sun with her netty little verse on "Tarzon 13ro\vn1sYictory."

Walter Weeden Glasko, father of a large fa lnily and one s tep-son,
Ilas worked for the United Electric Rai1wn.v~Company since he \\-a<
studying Y1.enc11in high school hack in 1917. IJc has heen cml)loyetl
as an operator for the company longer than i11ly other nliln, ancl i q
now a t the big North R'tai11 Street Station in I'rovidcnce. IIc 11i1s
t;~ughtniany new operators the fine points of nunning :c po\\-cr st21t ion.
The company trusts him. Last week he was very nlucl~perturbetl
when a scliool teacher, shoved his eleven year old step-son (wlionl Ilc
has reared as his own, from babyhood) ont into tllc school 11.111 to I)e
heaten up by a twenty year old Inan of the same town. The teacher
admitted to the Mother that she laughed a t the boy as he scrcanlecl
and yelled, saying, "You'd have Inugllcd too i f ,you 1i:ul Itc;~nlIiirn."
"Oh no!" answered the Mother, "not at my boy, or any other hIothe~'.;
eleven year old boy being brutally handled l>y a big tn7enty ycnr oltl
bully. No I wouldn't have laughed! There's a heart left in In?
body. My hoy's eyes are black and his face is scarred his ~veakarm
whiclz was broken is lamed and the other hurt and sn-ollen. I t Inny
he a funny joke to you, but I'll see justice donc."
"If you go to law, I'll swear he wasn't hit in the school," said the
"You liar," said the enraged Mother, "You just stood
teacher.
there and told me you laughed a t him. His o\vn sister sat there in
your room and cried \\-l-hileyou stood in the doorway and shoved the
boy, as he came back into the room a t Andy's conl~uandand p ~ his
~ t
glasses on his desk, and then you will swear a lie, with enough evidence
t o hang a man?"
"Yes, I'll swear he wasn't licked here."
To the Indian father came this lad for comfort, who took hi111 to
his great, gentle heart, bathed his injured parts and called the school
superintendant to come to his Iiouse ; ~ n dsee t l ~ eIi~d,h u t the (.;111 JV;IS

unanswered. Such men must lead their sons, in the storins of life,
iuust protect them from injustices until they become old enough to
care for the~nseIves. Such men are heroes unsung, more than those
wllo sit in executive offices and forget the little individual children
being trained under their protection.
Bliss Margaret Carter, a Phi Betta Kappa and a Sigina Ki a t
Peinbrolce College, is now a Senior and has been elected a delegate to
attend the Court of International Relations Conference held at
Wellesley C:ollege. Her brother U. T. Carter, Jr., has made his class
a t R. I. Slate College a t ICingston.
Narragansetts are not in politics today and those holding state
jobs were thrown out last yea.r and this disgusted the whole group.
Some had held jobs for ten and twelve years and are now out of work.
They have decided to turn to reform and social service work. Their
hig ~nlbitionnow is a Community House in the center of historic
South County and an athletic field wherein they can carry on their
own a.ctivities znd train their young minds of the tribe in a happy,
llealtl~ynatural way.

TRIBUTE BY COLUMBIA PROFESSOR TO MEMORY OF
FlDELlA FIELDING AT NORWICH, CONN.
Dr. .J. D. Prince of the department of Eest European Languages
of Colulnbia University sent the following excerpt iu relation to the
cercn~oni:~l
to thc memory of Mrs. A. I-I. Fielding a t the Indian Buria.1
grounrl Pt. Shantolz Park, a t 2 3 0 p. m. on Sunday, May 94th:
"There is always s~methingstrangely pathetic about a dying
language, especially when like the Mohican-Peqnot, the dialect
existed only in the nlerlloly of a single person, an aged Indian woman,
Nrs. Pidelia Fielding, who resided a t Mohegan, near here, and who
kept up her scant knowledge of her early speech, chiefly by talking
to herself. The text of a sermon written by her in her dialect was
published by me in 1904 in the American Antl~ropologist. This sernlon she said as written "to be read to the people who came to her
house, not to preach in the pulpit."
"Alt.houg11 Mrs. l~ieltfi~~g's
dialect was in the last sta.ges of dec:bg,
it still relained enougll of the original phonetics and gramn~atical
~)henornenato ena.ble Prof. Speck and n~yselfto judge very sstisfactorily regarding the primitive cl~aracterof the language. Prof. Speck
a t tlie time was a student of mine a t Columbia University and is now
professor of American Languages in the University of Penn. The
greatest co1ifr:sion prevails in the o!inds of many writers on American
subjects, rrgzrding the tern] R'Iohican or Rlohegan. There can be
no doubt that this tribal appelation was primarily and properly applied to the Hudson River Indians of this name, who in the 18th
century lived not only in the Hudson Va.lley, but also in the eastern
S e w York State, north~vesternConnecticut and southwestern Massachusetts, clliefly a t St.ockbridge, where a real Mohican colony existed
rlntil the l~eginningof the 19th century. These people were not the.
3Iol1ic;1~n-l'eyr1otof Norwich, Connecticut, who were really Pequots
in Inngi~agebut referred to themselves as Mohicans. This discrepancy arosc in the follo.rving manner: An old Pequot tradition tells of
the eniigrai.ion of this tribe in about the year 1600 from the upper
THE NARRAGANSETT D A W N
Hudso~lRiver where they lived as neighbors of these Mohic:~ns,\vlio
were a branch of the Lenni-Lenape tribe and wvllo spoke a Dela\vare
dialect. The cause of t.he Pequot removal is not very clear, but may
have been due to over-population. These people ma.y have been
years in tlieir journey froin the Hudson River t.erritory eastward.
When they rea.ched the Connecticut R.iver they turned southward
until they reached Long Island Sound. Their descent into this
cou.ntry must have been abrupt and violent, as it caused the disruption of the Niantics, who were in possession of that region. As the
invaders dialect was Pequot, it is therefore prohable that these
Mohican-Pequots were only distantly akin to the Mohicans of the
Hudson River. The name Pequot, according to Trumbull, is derived
from the word "pequtoog" meaning "destroyers."
The Pequot language is now dead and it is only to the efforts of
We onyea tremendous
debt to her, both philological and historicd point of view, and it is
most fjtting that a memorial should be erected to her memory a t a
place where slle lived and st.udied to keep alive her dying la.nguage."

Go to the ponds or lakes and see if you can see just what kind of
food the big fellows eat. I n some places frogs are very good; in
other ponds shiners about four inches long are the best. Fish in
water .five or six feet deep, at the mouth of a brook or a t the edge of
deep water. The best time is a t sunset. The big fellows 1a.y in deep
water or by some rock or sunken log all day, and at sunset come out
looking for food. Take a frog a t the edge of lilly pads and drop him
on the pad, and let him hop off into the water, flip him brick on the
pad again, then let him sink down a foot or two, bring h ~ mback to
the top and let him swim around. If there is a big one around, that
is feed, something will happen.
When he takes the bait let him run, for he will go about five or
tell yards, and then stop to swallow it; a t this time you set the hook.
If he is a big fellow, he may keep going when he has taken the bait.
They often do what you think they mill not do. \\'hen he contes out
of the water, to shake the hook, keep a tight line, if you can. Do not
use small hooks for bass, because they have a mouth big enough to
put your fist into, and the little hooks are useless.
Bass only bite when they feel like it. Some days I have been
fishing and everything hut bays were biting. You can watch one, on
a side of a rock or log and fish for him with a dozen kinds of bait he
likes, but he doesn'L move. Let the wind change, or the sun go down,
and he strikes a t your bait so fast, that he will knock you out of five
years growth, and then the fight is on.
There are also fresh water sha,rk and pickerel. I n fact these are
plenty game .and fish in the southern part of Rhode Island to catcli.
'yes, if you fish right!
