What American Indians who sold land that became Rhode Island?

The land that became Rhode Island was originally inhabited by various American Indian tribes, primarily the Narragansett and the Wampanoag. In the early 17th century, these tribes engaged in land transactions with English settlers, including Roger Williams, who was granted land in 1636. Williams and other settlers purchased land from the Narragansett tribe, leading to the establishment of Providence, which later became part of Rhode Island. These transactions were complex and often involved negotiations that reflected both cooperation and conflict between the tribes and the settlers.
