Conanacus was the chief sachem of the Narragansetts, the primary enemy to the Wampanoag confederation led by Massasoit. The Narragansetts were not friendly towards the Pilgrims, primarily because of their alliance with the Wampanoag. The
Narragansetts were very strong in number, consisting of as many as 5,000 warriors to the Wampanoag's approximately 3,000 warriors.
In January 1622, Conanacus sent the Pilgrims a bundle of arrows wrapped in the skin of a rattlesnake--a sign and challenge of war. The governor in return sent the rattlesnake back filled with gunpowder, but Conanacus was so scared of the English
gunpowder he would not allow it into his territory.
Because of the Narragansett threat, construction of a fort around Plymouth began in February 1622, for the purpose of defense and protecting the colonists.
