  • Historic Considerations of the District
    Historic considerations of the district The City of Providence Department of Art, Culture + Tourism recognizes the deep history of this land as a cultural meeting ground between indigenous people, then European settlers, enslaved Africans and free blacks, and later immigrants who came to work on the waterfront, and today refugees and new arrivals from across the globe. The site is stained by the imaginary of the slave trade and the real history of human chattel slavery, as well as violent removal and assimilation of Indigenous lifeways and people to enrich white European settlers, and later coalitions of pro-growth capitalists. The reclaimed 195 land (made available as a result of the relocation of Interstate 195) is connected to a half-century history of pathbreaking investment in the downtown cultural economy and life, but it was a site of entrepreneurial investment and creativity long before. Looking ahead, all models of projected sea level rise demonstrate that the site will be impacted. Indigenous Lifeways and History: • Southern New England’s Pequot, Wampanoag, and Narragansett were migratory and their economies were based on agriculture and hunting, fishing and gathering. They moved with yearly cycles to established places to best exploit seasonal resources: o Indigenous people harvested fish and shellfish, trapped ducks and geese, hunted, and gathered plant foods. o They burned large areas to create meadows to attract deer for meat and to open fields for planting maize, beans, and squash. Fire-resistant trees such as oak, hickory and chestnut produced a fall nut harvest. o Their settlements were never very large, but in winter they gathered inland in sheltered valleys.
