Narragansett Live Cam

The Narragansett people have a long and rich history in what is now known as Rhode Island. They are a Native American tribe belonging to the Algonquian language family. The Narragansett lived in the region for thousands of years before the arrival of European settlers.

Prior to European contact, the Narragansett occupied a significant portion of present-day Rhode Island and parts of Connecticut and Massachusetts. They had a complex social and political structure, organized into several villages, each with its own sachem (chief) and council. The Narragansett were skilled hunters, fishermen, and farmers, relying on the resources of the land and the sea for their sustenance.
