Note
"The Gay Head Indians are a remnant of an aboriginal tribe, and possess a point of land on the southwest side of the Island of Martha's Vineyard. Their present number is about two hundred and forty. ... Two of the Indians, one of whom wrote the petition referred, and whose names are signed to it among the other petitioners, appeared before the committee, and, from their testimony, the following facts, relating to the subject matter of the petition, are stated. ... Several of the tribe have been drowned, and have perished by freezing, by reason of intoxication. One of the Indians stated, that this last was the case with his own mother. Rum keeps them all poor."--Page 3-4.
