Short description: Creator god in the traditional religion of the Narragansett people.[
Cautantowwit (also known as Kytan) is the chief deity and creator god in the traditional religion of the Narragansett people.[1][2] Cautantowwit was one of a pantheon of deities observed by the Narragansett, though all were ultimately created by him.[2]
According to the Narragansett, Cautantowwit lived in "the southwest".[3] They attributed the "Indian summer" to a wind that came from "the court of their great and benevolent god Cautantowwit".[3]
