Biography
Canonicus was born around 1565,[1] but nothing is known of his early life. He was chief of the Narragansett tribe when the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth, and one of the first with whom they had dealings.
In the words of historian Benjamin Lossing, he "regarded the advent of the white men with a jealous fear", and he challenged the Plymouth colony in 1622 in front of a force of about 5,000 men.[1] He sent a bundle of arrows in a leather wrap tied with a snake skin to Plymouth governor William Bradford,[1]
