Roger Williams was the man who named Providence. The Indians were his friends and I will tell you the story of Roger Williams.

Roger Williams was a nice man. He went to the court and told the people that they did not have the right to take the Indian's place and make our houses. Roger Williams said everyone can have their own religion then everyone left the building.

Roger Williams got a note and it said that someone was coming to get him. He walked and walked for a very long time. It was cold and he slept under the trees. A Indian found him and welcomed him to their place and that was the place he called Providence.
