Vintage Narragansett staff From Rhode Island

Vintage 42 inch Narragansett staff from Rhode Island. Ornate with deer toes feathers beadwork and bone jaw. The Narragansett people are an Algonquian American Indian tribe from Rhode Island. The tribe was nearly landless for most of the 20th century, but it worked to gain federal recognition and attained it in 1983. It is officially the Narragansett Indian Tribe of Rhode Island. A Native American staff is a highly honored and sacred object.
