The chief of the Narragansett Tribe of Rhode Island visited the Shinnecock Nation of New York to dispel concerns that the tribes are fighting each other.
A fight at the recent Schemitzun powwow was attributed to a rivalry between the tribes
But Narragansett Chief Sachem Matthew Thomas said it's "a couple of knuckleheads" who are causing trouble.
The Schemitzun incident is under investigation in Connecticut. No one was seriously injured although police say witnesses are not cooperating.
