Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fourth Annual Report of the Commission on the Affairs of the Narragansett Indians, Made to the General Assembly, at Its January Session, 1884 While your commissioners were engaged in these labors, they were made mindful that their work was creating an interest in the com munity, not only in the immediate vicinity, but throughout the State. The Rhode Island Historical Society and students of our local history taking special interest therein. It was deemed proper to give an opportunity for this sentiment to express itself. The original inhabitants of this State have been really and nominally assimilated with the civilized white men who emigrated to them, and, after nearly two hundred and fifty years of friendly relations. First as host to the outcast wanderers, then of equally allied nations, and finally of a State extending its protection to its dependent wards, your Honorable Body had determined at its termination to erect some monument of that relation upon those lands which had longest remained in the possession of the Indians and their descendants. A memorial stone had been erected by your commissioners upon a spot of ground by nature picturesque, jutting prominently out into the Great pond, and which held the outline of a former fortification.
