Tomaquag Museum is Rhode Island's only museum entirely dedicated to telling the story of the Indigenous peoples of this land. Whether you are traveling in Apponaug ("waiting place"), Aquidneck Island ("at the island"), or Chepachet ("boundary/separation place"), evidence of Rhode Island's Native origin is plentiful. "There is no Rhode Island history without Narragansett history".

The Museum is located in Exeter, RI but Tomaquag also exists in your community! Our Museum Educators visit K-12 grade classrooms to share the history and culture of the local Native Peoples, Our virtual programs connect researchers, teachers, and culture seekers to Tomaquag resources. Businesses and organizations benefit from cultural sensitivity training and other DEIA topics from qualified facilitators. The organization is much more than a museum.

We invite you to join us on November 6th to learn about Tomaquag Museum, its history, purpose, and vision for the future.

This free event will feature a presentation from Tomaquag's Executive Director, Lorén Spears, outlining the Museum's programming and purpose. You will also get a special "insider peek" at the new Tomaquag Museum & Research Center coming soon to Kingston, RI.

RSVP by November 1st.

This is a limited-capacity event. Registration is required.
