Tomaquag Museum operates as Rhode Island’s only Native-operated facility dedicated to sharing Indigenous culture, arts, and history. Located in Exeter, the museum sits adjacent to a large wildlife management area and houses an extensive collection and archive focused on tribal communities of southern New England, with emphasis on the Narragansett Tribe. Its mission centers on educating the public and fostering dialogue about Indigenous history, culture, and contemporary Native issues from a first-person perspective, while aiming to broaden visitors’ perspectives and knowledge of Indigenous cultures and their interconnections with the wider world. The institution also pursues economic development within Indigenous communities in Rhode Island through its Indigenous Empowerment Network, leveraging partnerships and education to address poverty through cultural competency, job training, and employment. In recent developments, the organization has announced expansion efforts and partnerships, including a relocation and larger facility project at the University of Rhode Island Kingston Campus, reflecting its ongoing growth and collaboration with regional institutions.
