    Enid Bland Yandell poses with model and sculpture of Indian Chief Ninigret. This was Enid's last major public commission which depicted the Niantic chief know for his peaceful relations with European settlers in his territory of Rhode Island. The model for the figure was a member of Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, performing in Paris at the time. The finished work presently rests on a rock beside the bay in Watch Hill, Rhode Island. A version of Chief Ninigret was one of two works which Yandell exhibited in the 1913 Armory Show. The other work featured was the Five Sense Fountain.
