Hiking trails lead to rocks that mark the location where the leaders four Indigenous tribes once gathered for council (Pokanoket, Narragansett, Nipmuc and Massachusett).

Members of the Mashapaug Tribe from Providence offer a prayer and some drumming at the Neutaconkanut Hill Conservancy Annual Event on September 22, 2018 to help recognize the important role that the Hill played in the lives of indigenous people who occupied that land for thousands of years.
