Narragansett  
The word Narragansett comes from an Algonkian word meaning ?at the small or narrow point.? Traditional Narragansett homelands include present-day Rhode Island and parts of southern Massachusetts. Culturally and linguistically, they are eastern Algonkian Indians. Through most of the 17th century, they were allied with the Pocumtuck against the Mohegan. In 1675-76, they joined with the Wampanoag and Nipmuc in Metacom?s Rebellion or King Philip?s War.
