Before the founding of Rhode Island, the Narragansett tribe was the predominant Native American group in the region. They inhabited the area and played a significant role in the early interactions with European settlers. The Narragansett were known for their agricultural practices and fishing, as well as their complex social and political structures. Their presence and culture significantly shaped the history of Rhode Island prior to European colonization.
