The first thing to do is establish who were the native peoples of the area that later became Rhode Island. The greater part of the area was occupied by the Narragansett, Wampanoag and eastern Niantic tribes, with some small bands of Nipmuc and Manisseans.

All these people built large longhouses covered with birch bark for use in the winter which could house up to 20 families; in the summer months much smaller wetu were made - these were domed wigwams, also covered with birch bark sheets.

Inside longhouses, rows of beds (called appin or wutappin) were constructed along each side, often with two layers like bunks. These were made with frames of wooden poles with skins stretched across to make the sleeping platform. More skins were hung to create curtains for privacy and to eliminate cold drafts.

Inside a wetu, people slept on the ground or on furs or soft-tanned deerskins.
