(Providence-AP)


The chairman of the U-S House committee in charge of Indian affairs has called for a federal investigation of the smoke shop incident.
California Congressman Richard Pombo wrote a letter to Attorney General John Ashcroft, saying the confrontation with state police and Narragansett tribe members have outraged tribe leaders nationwide.

Pombo says the tribal leaders are concerned that the Narragansetts' civil rights were violated.

Pombo says a federal investigation will provide objectivity in the matter.
