Narragansett

My card collection grows occasionally; I recently made a small purchase of cards to fill in some gaps including tribes of the Northeast. This tourist card text states:

"The Narragansett were once the strongest tribe in southern New England. Princess Pretty Flower is the wife of war chief Roaring Bull"

Eleanor Spears Dove (1918-2018) and her husband owned a restaurant for 23 years that offered indigenous cuisine, participated in tribal activities, and are well remembered in their community. Her husband was the first Native American postmaster. More information about them can be found at the Tomaquag Museum in Rhode Island
