English: Seal of the City of Providence, Rhode Island, featuring the likeness of Roger Williams landing at Slate Rock and being greeted by a group of Narragansett people. The city motto "What cheer?", is said to be derived from the line "What cheer, netop?", "netop" being a Narragansett word for friend. In effect this line basically translates to "what cheer[y news have you brought] friend?".

Although the source given here is from 2006, the current design of the seal has existed since the nineteenth century, with originals seen in reports from 1863, 1865, and 1878. The very earliest iteration of this seal with the same concept but different rendering appears in 1845.
