The Wampanoag tribes (including the Massachusett, Nauset, Nantucket and Pennacook) were located in the area that became eastern Massachusetts. They spoke a language called Natick.
The Narragansett tribe were immediately to their south in the area that became Rhode Island. They seem to have been closely related to the Wampanoags, but the Narragansett clearly dominated them and other small groups in the same area, and forced them to pay tribute in the form of deer hides, shell beads and so on. The Narragansett language is almost identical to Natick.
Examples of words in the two languages are:
English......................Natick...........................Narragansett
crow, raven................konkont........................kaukont
deer...........................ahtuk............................attuk
it is broken.................poksheau......................pokesha
ten..............................piuk..............................piuck

Today the only federally recognized tribe in Rhode Island is the Narragansett Indian Tribe of Rhode Island. Historically the Niantic and Wampanoag people lived there as well.

No, in fact the Narragansett were one of the dominating forces of the region and effectively subjugated the Wampanoag and many other native groups in the area. They expected payment of tribute in the form of shell beads, deer hides, foodstuffs and other goods - so the relationship was like conqueror and conquered. By 1620 the Narragansett were very suspicious of the friendly relationships between the Wampanoag and white settlers. This led eventually to open warfare in 1632 when the Narragansett attacked Wampanoag villages, but they were driven off (with help from the English).
im pretty sure its... Narragansett Niantic and Wampanoag
and you are not to be it
what weapons and tools the Wampanoag used
The Wampanoag tribe mostly traveled by foot, but they moved closer to the ocean to get better food.

One tribe of Native Americans that was involved in conflicts with the Puritans was the Pequot tribe. The Pequot War took place in 1636-1638 in what is now Connecticut. The war resulted in the defeat of the Pequot tribe and the significant reduction of their population.
The Indians who helped the pilgrims were Wampanoag.
