Tomaquag Museum is Rhode Island's only Native-operated facility dedicated to the sharing of indigenous culture, arts and history. Nestled by 1400 acres of wildlife management  area, Tomaquag features an extensive collection and archive that focuses on tribal communities of southern New England and highlights the Narragansett Tribe. The Mission of Tomaquag Museum is to educate the public and promote thoughtful dialogue regarding Indigenous history, culture, arts, and Mother Earth and connect to Native issues of today from a first-person perspective.  Tomaquag Museum envisions its future as an Indigenous Cultural Education destination that engages visitors in thoughtful dialogue that promotes understanding and strives to create experiences that transform people's lives by broadening their perspectives, attitudes, and knowledge of Indigenous Cultures and the interrelationship with the wider world. Our Indigenous Empowerment Network was developed to utilize the Tomaquag Museum and the many strong relationships we have developed as a catalyst for economic change within our Indigenous community. We strive to eradicate poverty in the Indigenous community of Rhode Island through education, cultural competency, job training, and employment, at the Tomaquag Museum and our ever expanding network of partners.
