That first excerpt from Confonting Colonialism refers to a memorial stone pile, and I'm wondering if it is the one on Monument Mountain south of Stockbridge. That's the only one nearby that I can think of.

Lion Miles, a local historian whom I know, guides the Mahican Indians to sites of their ancestral homes on the town common in Stockbridge when they make their annual pilgrimage from Wisconsin.
