The Nahahigansek Soveriegn Nation people live in Narragansett Bay as well as in present-day Rhode Island, Connecticut, and eastern Massachusetts. The Nahahigansek culture has existed in the region for thousands of years, trading extensively. Some members still speak the original Algonquian language; the town of Narragansett, Rhode Island is a mis-pronunciation.
Historically, they watch a large piece of land in the now northeastern section of the USA from Canada, west to the Mississippi river, and south into Florida. Wampum has been the main source of the trade medium... with the correct name of Wampumpeage or White String of Shell Beads. Suckauhok or (purple section of the quahaug clam shell) is the sacred section... all Nahahigansek Algonquian words.
