About this episode

The episode discusses Rhode Island's Royal Charter and the dynamics between New England settlers and Native Americans.

Rhode Island gets a Royal Charter, and the rest of New England is ordered to play nicely with the Indians. Philip becomes Sachem, and Weetamoo turns the English love of lawsuits against them.
