- <p> Martha's Vineyard is at peace. The standoff between
- Jacqueline Onassis and a group of Native Americans ended last
- week in a neighborly trade. The dispute began in 1980, when
- Jackie bought part interest in a small ocean-front plot that
- was within her 400-acre estate on the pricey island off the
- Massachusetts coast. The rest of the parcel belonged to
- descendants of a Wampanoag Indian, and they consider it sacred
- ground. When she tried forcing a sale of the property so she
- could restrict public access to it, they sued to block her.
- Jackie is finally getting full possession of the land, but in
- return will give the Wampanoags two acres nearby, plus $100,000
- for good measure.
