  1. Narragansett Indian Tribe Biographies, arts, and clothingby: NafaelyFrutos

  2. Crafts The Narragansett tribes did a lot of beadwork and baskets. They crafted wampum which was made of white and purple shell beads. The wampum beads were also traded. They mainly used them for cultural importance. The designs and pictures on wampum belt often told a story or represented a person's family.

  3. Arts Edward Mitchell Bannister On June 10 of 1857 Banister married Christiana Carteaux, “aNarragansett Indian who was born in North Kingston, Rhode Island. The couple had no children. Christiana worked as a wigmaker and hairdresser in Boston, and her Rhode island background might have prompted the Bannister's to move from Boston to Providence, Rhode Island, in 1870.”

  4. Clothing

  5. Clothing The Narragansett women wore skirts that were only knee-length and the men wore a breechcloth Usually shirts weren’t necessary in the culture. Narragansett people wore deerskin mantles around cooler weather. The Narragansett men and women both wore earrings and mocassins, which are like boots.

  6. Clothing The Narragansett's usually wore beaded headbands that had a feather near the back. Sometimes a Narragansett chief wore a head dress with feathers pointing upward from the headband. Narragansett men sometimes had a Mohawk hairstyle or even shaved their heads completely and left a scalp lock, one long lock of hair on the top center of their heads. The Narragansett women usually had just long hair though.

  7. Clothing [now] Today, some Narragansett people still continue using the traditional headband or moccasins. They do also wear modern clothes, such as jeans, instead of wearing breechcloths. They also wear feathers in their hair only on special occasions.
