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 n r l ~ n l i ~ i l ~ of rcsl)onsil)ilities, wl~ich she attends to with quick. alert, polile 1)rrsincss lilte manner. She knows all tha t is happening around.

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 the 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?CS~ satisfi~.ction, for the little boy has thrown away his crutches and can \valk alone.

I n the city of Pawtucket, in the grade school, is Miss Doris Steele, a teacller,'\vl~o is a cou\in of Ellison I3rown, winner of the 40th Boston hl:~r;!tl~o~z this ycar. Ilrown is sailing this month for Europe, where Ile \\-ill represent the U. S. in the Olympics.

It w m passed in April. S1le ferreted out the law 800 from the Superior Court J.il>ri~ry, read i t to the council and tribe, and thus was added the cla~ise to the Ind i i~~ i Day Bill-Sec. 2: "This act shall take effect I 1 C I I it\ J :LSS:I~C and all acts and parts of acts inconsistent herewith iI1.e I~eret,y repet~led."

Mr. Tl~eodore Glasko is running his own garage on the Victory 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 years the Pnnny's Rfusical Merrimacs, an orchestra in very good standing. Fnncis "Panny" Glasko is the manager and drummer. .-lnother drummer in the family is 13 years old Walter Peek, his nel,he\\~, \vlio is n. nlember of the Sons of Veterans of Foreign Wars, .lames E. Keegan Post, 1023, of Durrillville and drums in their Fife, T3ugle and Drum Corps. This lad will beat the tom tom in the graduntion exercises for the town of Burrillville since in their program they haye an historic Indian scene. The War Dance was taught the111 1)y the Narragansett Historian.

Thc 11istorin.n and her special group of children and' Chief Pine Tree and fmnily llave a full calendar of entertainments for this Ter- cZcntcn;lry Year in R. I. They are hooked up t o December 18th.

THE NARRAGANSETT DAWN

June 20th they \\:ere a t Ba.n.ington Tercentenary Celebration. They are also a.ppearing in the big R. I. pageant "The Soul of Libel-ty," to he held in Roger Williams l'ark for the week OF .Jrlly 23rtl. .At)ol~t a

hundred of the Narragansetts will appear in the early scenes.

Miss Clam Peckhaln appeared in "Town Talk" colirmn of tile , Westerl?j Sun with her netty little verse on "Tarzon 13ro\vn1s Yictory."

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.

Marjoty Dove has a new job and nianages well to take good care of one young lady; while her brother Ferris is enlployed in Pliilildel- phia. Her young brother Philip \vho had gradun.ted from \Vesterly Higli plans to join the navy.

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.enc11 in 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;~ught niany new operators the fine points of nunning :c po\\-cr st21 t 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;~nl Iiirn." "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 ~veak arm 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 teacher. "You liar," said the enraged Mother, "You just stood there and told me you laughed a t him. His o\vn sister sat there in your room and cried \\-l-hile you stood in the doorway and shoved the boy, as he came back into the room a t Andy's conl~uand and p ~ ~ t his 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 ;~nd see t l ~ e Ii~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 ~nlbition now 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~y natural 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~mething strangely 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 ser- nlon 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 ~)henornena to ena.ble Prof. Speck and n~yself to judge very sstisfac- torily regarding the primitive cl~aracter of 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 ap- plied 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 Sew York State, north~vestern Connecticut and southwestern Massa- chusetts, clliefly a t St.ockbridge, where a real Mohican colony existed rlntil the l~eginning of the 19th century. These people were not the. 3Iol1ic;1~n-l'eyr1ot of Norwich, Connecticut, who were really Pequots in Inngi~age but referred to themselves as Mohicans. This discrep- ancy 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


Hudso~l River 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 disrup- tion of the Niantics, who were in possession of that region. As the invaders dialect was Pequot, i t 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 Nrs. Fielding that i t mas kept alive so long. We onye a tremendous debt to her, both philological and historicd point of view, and i t 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."

t hc SOU t liern p~~, r t : of r\Te~\: El~glnnd Ila.ve n good many bass left. Some go fislling and ct~tcll a few sn~nll fish that will not go more than a ~)ounil :~nd think they have done something; but they are only sma.11 OIICS. Some go for ~) l r~gs i~nd things that fish will not bite a.t all, but so111ct11ing t1i;r.t n s:lles~n:in in the store told them was good.


Go to the ponds or lakes and see if you can see just what kind of food the big fellows eat. In 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 ~ m back 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. In fact these are plenty game .and fish in the southern part of Rhode Island to catcli.

'yes, if you fish right! LONE WOLF
