The Rhode Island Department of Transportation is apologizing to the Narragansett Tribe because a contractor was attempting to bulldoze a culturally sensitive site without approval.

The DOT had ordered Cardi Construction Corp. to stop work on a sewer project. But a tribal member last week noticed a crew was disturbing the site.

The tribe wants to ensure an archaeological study is conducted before any work resumes. The tribe is filing a complaint with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation.
