|a First published in 1643, this book is one of the most important artifacts of early Indigenous American culture. In it, Roger Williams recorded the day-to-day experience of the Narragansett people of Rhode Island in their own words, the first documentation of an American Indian language in English. Williams's book can be read at many levels because of its historical, literary, political and religious significance. Its greatest value, though, is its intimate portrait of the Narragansett and their linguistic neighbors in the early years of European colonial settlement, before disease, dislocation, warfare, in particular, King Philip's War and colonial interference had diminished their population and power in the region. An extraordinary achievement, this book gives us a contemporary account of Narragansett family life, of their sociability and skill in business, their dress, foodways and the farming, fishing and hunting that formed the basis of their sustenance practices. This new Tomaquag Museum edition includes for the first time cultural commentary provided by the Narragansett Tribe as well as modern linguistic information provided by a leading authority in the study of American Indian languages.
