Before Roger Williams set foot in the New World, the Narragansett
farmed corn and squash, hunted beaver and deer, and harvested clams
and oysters throughout what would become Rhode Island. They also
obtained wealth in the form of wampum, a carved shell that was used
as currency along the eastern coast. As tensions with the English
rose, the Narragansett leaders fought to maintain autonomy. While
the elder Sachem Canonicus lived long enough to welcome both
Verrazzano and Williams, his nephew Miatonomo was executed for his
attempts to preserve their way of life and circumvent English
control. Historian Robert A. Geake explores the captivating story
of these Native Rhode Islanders as he chronicles a history of the
Narragansett from their early European encounters to the tribes
return to sovereignty in the 20th Century.
