I met a elderly Narragansett lady here in long island back in 93 and she told me stories of her people and their contact's with the Norse..this lady could have easily been an educator for a college on north Eastern woodland people's ...God bless the Narragansett nation!
Thank you so much for sharing. I have recently discovered that my 15th great grandfather was a chief of the Narragansett tribe. I would absolutely love to learn more about ancestors
I also am a descendant of a chief of the Narraganset. I only recently found out who, but had been told as a child only that I had native heritage. I am happy to know more specifics, but want to learn more about my ancestors as well. It is truly sad what colonialism has done to the history of people of the world, and is currently going on in some places.
Me too - I live in New Zealand and very excited to learn about my ancestry. My relative was Elizabeth Corey (Minnetinka) her father was Chief Sachem Miantonomoh
@@buster_wolfhopkins6801 My records show Elizabeth Corey and John Corey had William Corey. Elizabeth was the daughter of Sachem Canonchet Saccohan Nauntenoo and Mephibosheth Thayer. Do you have different information?
No matter what we are still strong. The tribe helped me so much, eternally grateful. The pain still lives with us, but there is hope in each generation.
I so respect the North Eastern Tribes, unlike many other Native American tribes they dont shun those who are darker, or those who were escaped Africans, great message.
It seems to me that many Natives were really dark before mixing with Europeans! I’ve seen pictures of older Natives and all are really dark skinned! I’m not saying they are Africans either! What I’m saying is it’s very interesting to me that all across the earth indigenous people started out very dark skinned! That’s the Aboriginals in Australia, the Indians in India (all Asian countries really), the Africans, and they even say the European that mixed with the Neanderthal was dark skinned! This all leads me to believe that the Most High created all HIS humans with a lot of melanin in the skin and that pink/white skin is something very foreign! 🤔
@@MercyAlwyz23 Pale skin is an adaptation to low UV rays, and is a result of human migration further from the equator. You'll find the tribes in the more northern section of North America were fairer, while the ones closer to the equator were much darker. Europeans at one point had darker features but became paler as an adaptation to low UV rays out of necessity for vitamin D. Blue eyes and blonde hair originated in homo-sapiens 6,000-10,000 years ago around the Caucuses/Black Sea region.
They shun dark Aborigine because they are not us they are Siberian migrants and pale faces they had to sign a paper to become Indian most are not Indian by blood 😂 real Amerindians pass as black and not the other way around it doesn’t mean they are African a very small percentage of African slaves were brought here less than 30 thousand

i am a rhode islander, my heart goes out to all the indian nations throughout this country........... i found out i have indian heritage not sure which nation. but my fathers father married a lovely full bred indian, which i always felt proud, she passed at 103 years of age ........................ it's unfair the rightful natives of this land were abused, defiled and given limited space or respect... when initially they helped the settlers and their trust betrayed ...........................
I have been to your Rez and found the tribal members most welcoming, I was shocked to see that Rhode Island so disrespects this tribe. Narragansett is a Historical Tribe. Look around R.I.! I can't believe this tribe is still fighting the RICH white man. They were the ones that welcomed your forefathers to this land.
I am not officially a part of the tribe yet but it runs in my blood. My aunt and grandma are I believe currently elders of the tribe. I found this video because I was trying to learn more about the tribe. Since I was very young I’ve always felt more connected with my Narragansett Indian blood. It’s hard to explain but I’ve used to say it’s probably that I feel more connected spiritually withy ancestors. As I was watching the video ms. Dove mentioned the massacre that happened long ago and I don’t know how to explain. The feelings that came over me. But it was like a huge wave of pain that filled my heart and I started crying and couldn’t stop crying. When I’ve looked up research before on the I remember reading about the massacre. There isn’t much written down on google research about the tribe but I want to learn as much as I can. I don’t know where to start really besides asking my grandma and aunt questions which I will once again be doing. When I typed this out I was thinking of seeing if this could be a start and find more tribe members to help teach me out history. I don’t know if that will happen but I will not stop trying. I’m sorry if this comment was all over the place.
Go get enrolled they probably need the numbers and they need to get federally recognized and plus it runs in you blood so rightfully so go get paperwork and get enrolled they need someone like u so passionate about ur tribe and culture
As I understand it, Indians have been in North America for ten thousand years, Europeans for 1,000 years. During that 1,000 years humans have advanced technology, art, literature, transportation, mathematics, manufacture, music, politics, weapons, materials, space exploration, and communications. In 10,000 years Indians apparently chanted, danced and lived the same as animals.
Look what was taken and still the don’t ask for reparations from the government, strong independent indigenous people stay strong and independent, you are amazing❤
I'm mostly Blackfoot my late wife was Cherokee but I'd be honored to visit your tribe . My soul still hurts from when the rhode island state attacked your tribe .
I moved down here in 1970 for and I found the Narragansett people very friendly I always went to the dovecrest to live eat I didn't live too far from it on New London turnpike and had many friends in the tribe very enjoyable the museum and a lot of other interesting sites to say historically nice and clean Robin McGee m a g e e
Your land reminds me so much of my native home in South Carolina's Lowcountry. I understand and support your fight. looking forward to visiting your home.
My grandfather was a full blooded Narragansett native. He married my grandmother who was a quarter irish Canadian and African. My aunts uncles and mom look like the brothers and sisters in this video
@Jessica Mcdaniels I know, which is why I'm asking anyone saying they are African-American and seem to have done their geneaology if they have records or any other proof other than the "narrative" to show it.
@Jessica Mcdaniels That's wonderful were any of the ancestors that you traced back to their indian tribes ever enslaved? If so how did you find documentation of their tribes? About the "African Americans" though I was asking if any of them found proof of African ancestors.
@Jessica Mcdaniels I fully get what you are saying. You know you aren't African. I was asking folks who say they do have Africans in their tree like the OP to tell me what kinda documentation they found. I haven't found any Africans in my tree either. I'm not yet as far back as you are but I am back way farther than the United States. About your ancestors who traced back to tribes were any ever enslaved and if they were how did you find their tribes despite slavery, name changes, status changes, etc.
@Jessica Mcdaniels Sooo interesting, wow all of that is so amazing I am awestruck, and very happy for you that you didn't have to pull too many teeth to get your people's records and also how amazing those records are. I know those serious US STATE archives have all the goods, certain religious STATES too, it's in their culture to document everything, our people believed a purposefully planted myth that there was no way to trace, but it's all false, they wanted us to think that because what we'd find is an utter crime scene of a totally different nature than the narrative they spun to us. You just have to want to know bad enough, and also have that connection with the ancestors, I believe they help lead us back to them if we whole heartedly ask. Thank you for the recommendation, I am going there now. I really appreciate connecting with you. 💛
The Narragansett are not a reason for the formation of the hodenosonee confederacy. The confederacy was formed to create peace between the then waring five nations seneca, Cayuga, Onondaga, Oneida, mohawk, who are one of the most influential tribal groups in North America past and present. 80,000 strong.

Be glad I'm half naragansit from grandfather's side my great grandfather was the leader of this tribe. My grandfather's name was Edwin Armstrong .my father's side was alot of Cherokee Indian. America lives on..
Isn’t it a trip on how us Aboriginal’s, have to ask an invading de facto government. Whether local, state, or federal just to exist on our land??😒😔 Change is coming!
I'm not doubting what they are saying because there is some evidence Vikings went as south as Massachusetts in 1000 AD(which is likely a hoax), but the vast majority of historians believe the Vikings only went as south as the Gaspe Peninsula/Newfoundland during Leaf Eriksson's voyage in 1000 AD.
that is happening with MOST of the tribes today. We can thank those who placed us upon reservations to begin with for this political system of enumerating our people. We were NOT like this in the beginning.
My sister and I are doing our family tree and DNA we have found out that minnetinka Gassett is in our tree.i want to learn and hear the language history etc.
There may only be 3,000 tribal members left but the Narragansett blood is still in a lot of white people, myself included. I honor my Ancestors and my Ancestral lands. I am too old now to ever be able to come back to visit. Say a blessing, sent from me please, for our people and our lands and traditions.
What makes you think they are mixed, their skin color? The earliest explorers found the inhabitants of the Americas ranging in complexion from very fair skin to very dark like the Ethiopians. The natives who migrated from Asia are a different phenotype than the aborigines who were already here, yet they are all part of the indigenous family.
Cause & Effect The Narragansetts are a tri-racial tribe, consisting of Caucasoid, Mongoloid and Negroid. The Mongoloids were here for thousands of years, until the immigrant Caucasoid discovered America and imported in the Negroids to be slaves. Fact is, the Natives who migrated from Asia are none other than the Narragansetts. Chew on that.
@@bluebird9749 Archaeological evidence shows the Narragansett inhabited these lands over 30,000 years ago and is a single stock race ranging from dark brown to almost white. Spanish explorer Giovanni De Verazzanno noted this in 1524 during his explorations at Narragansett Bay. They are certainly not mixed with Mongolians, Caucasians, not any other race.
