Roger Williams and Native Americans.

- Abstract
The article focuses on the relationship established by Baptist preacher Roger Williams with Native Americans in Plymouth, Massachusetts. He preached and traded with the Native Americans, studied their languages and called on Puritans to treat them fairly. The Indians gave him food and shelter after he fled from Plymouth when the General Court found him guilty of promoting land rights of Indians. His first book on Native Americans was "Key Into the Languages of America" about the Narragansett dialect published in 1643.
