An editorial in the Narragansett Dawn, a 30s periodical issued by Princess Red Wing of South County, ends on an exclamatory note: THE NARRAGANSETT TRIBE STILL EXISTS!
In the late 1700s, Mashapaug Pond was an Indian town. Villages grew up around rivers, lakes, and ponds, supplying the fresh water needed for cooking, bathing, fishing, and boating. Marine life thrived. The pond constituted the Southwest border of the original boundary of Indian land, tribal elder Tall Oak Weeden informed me, and has long been the location of choice for Indians moving to Rhode Island. At some point in the 1930s, a group of indigenous people gathered at Mashapaug Pond. The archivists, librarians, professors, and elders I have spoke to thus far have not known why. The Providence Journal and the Evening Bulletin have yielded no answers. And now, ironically on Columbus Day, when the doors of the libraries and historical societies are closed, that story still remains a mystery to me.

Transcription
Any written text transcribed from a sound.
Tall Oak Weeden: Mashapaug Pond, having the water there and having the land where you could raise your own crops, as our people did, you know, because we were agricultural people initially, and all of those things were able to be maintained there. So, that’s why the pond provided all of that back then and that’s what makes it such a tragedy to see the way none of those things are possible now, you know.
Ora Star Boncore: Do you think there’s hope for the future of the pond?
Weeden: Well, that depends on whether the damage is beyond repair or not. I don’t know the extent, the full extent of the damage. When Precious’ oldest living sister was here, she’s 82, she was the one I told you I couldn’t give you the time before because she was here for 2 weeks.
Boncore: Yes.
Weeden: Until early—late—early November.
Boncore: Yes.
Weeden: And so we went over there while she was here cause she lives all the way in St. Louis. Her and her sister that’s in the nursing home who’s only 5 years older than me, just 80. We went over there to try to find where Uncle Jim’s house was on Barrington St., the cherry tree and all.
Boncore: Yes.
Weeden: We couldn’t find it.
Boncore: Oh no.
Weeden: Everything is so altered so much and we went right up to the end of the residential streets that are still there that are not, you know, industrial and we saw the little park area that has been reserved. I guess you’ve seen that.
Boncore: Yes.
Weeden: And that’s the first time I had seen that cause I hadn’t been there since all that happened. And then I saw the warning sign next to the pond. That was an experience I’ll never forget.
