Narragansett Indians

The Narragansett Indians are a Native American tribe originally from the region that is now Rhode Island. They played a significant role in early American history, engaging in trade and diplomacy with European settlers. The tribe's culture is rich, with traditional practices involving fishing, hunting, and agricultural activities.
