H ISTORICAL interest in the Indians of southern New England has tended to focus on the early period of colonial settlement, when the major tribes still maintained coherent social structures and presented some threat to English security. The period following King Philip's war of 1675-1676 has been hitherto neglected. This conflict broke the power of the Narragansetts, the dominant tribe of Rhode Island and perhaps the most formidable of the Indian union, virtually ending their existence as a functioning tribal unit. Only a degenerate remnant attempted to preserve a traditional life under the sachem of the Niantic tribe, King Ninigret.1 Most of the surviving Rhode Island Indians never resumed their tribal habits; instead they became economically dependent, either voluntarily or involuntarily, on the whites of the colony. Although their situation has received scant attention from subsequent commentators, it was noted by contemporaries. Dean Berkeley, in a sermon before the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in 1731, stated that the Rhode Island Indians were nearly all servants or labourers for the English,2 and John Callender, seven years later, wrote that the Narragansetts not sheltered under the successors of Ninigret were scattered about where the English will employ them.3 The disintegration of the Narragansetts continued throughout the eighteenth century and increased Indian dependence on whites for employment. Although a covenant of 1709 between the Narragansetts and the Rhode Island government gave theoretical protection to those in possession of the reservation at Charlestown, Thomas Ninigret, who became sachem
