In October 2000, the Massasoit Park Revitalization Committee rehabilitated and rededicated this park for the Warren community as a recreational space for the Historic Waterfront District. The Sacred Circle presents East, West, North, and South as blessings that follow the sun’s path and enable the cycle of life. Native American Rose Lewis chose and designed the boulders, and Strong Woman and Moondancer explained their symbols in words. The whale boulder teaches that people were created by water, that West is the direction of water, and that water cleanses bodies, minds, and hearts, has no boundaries, and calls people to live each day. The wolf boulder expresses the belief that stones are the bones of the earth, and that the north stone represents the survival and strength of the First People. The turtle boulder says that the sun rises in the East and gives light, that the indigenous people here call themselves People of the First Light, and that East symbolizes wisdom, love, peace, and harmony, calling people to walk in balance. The bear boulder teaches that the lesson of the South is to learn, that its symbol is fire, and that fire shows the path of truth and knowledge to light up hearts and make changes for the better. A historical painting scene below depicts a visit in October to Massasoit Dusamequin’s Pokanoket village by Quahog Nipmuc Great Sachem Nadawahunt and his family, whose arrival was celebrated with gifts of food to be shared with the community. In October 1907, members of the Massasoit Monument Association gathered here for the dedication of a monument honoring the Pokenoket Massasoit Dusamequin and placed a boulder at Massasoit Spring across the street on the south side of Baker Street.
