Wutamo's Song is the fictional memoir of a Native American - Wutamoquok, Elder and Keenomp, or Valiant one, of the Narragansett People - who lived during the turbulent years of the 17th century. Narrated by Wutamo himself on the eve of King Phillip's War, it chronicles his life beginning with his coming of age in 1614, and that of his friend, Miantonomi, who rose to become chief sachem of the tribe and was one of the key historical figures of that era. Wutamo's Song tells of the Narragansett People and of the long struggle with European culture and civilization that utterly changed their way of life and nearly destroyed them.
