1759-63, Narragansett vs. T. Ninigret (alienation of tribal lands) (MS) 7 documents
|
|
1759-1763 Seven documents dealing with the ability of the Narragansett tribe to sell tribal lands. Of note, the then sachem, Thomas Ninigret, sought
repeal of an act so limiting the sale by tribe in order to pay his debts. After this was granted, the tribe filed a petition challenging this repeal
of the sanction against the sale of land by the Indians (document 1), as well as other relevant documents on both sides (2-5). Ultimately there was
petition for an order to sell lands to satisfy debts (6), and a commission's report on the progress of the sale (7). See LLMC #41014 for a related
document. (Digitized from a microfilm copy of titles originally held by the Rhode Island Department of State).
