TEK Walks

The Tomaquag Museum is Rhode Island's only Indigenous Museum dedicated to sharing the culture, arts, history, and lifeways of the Indigenous people of Southern New England. Tomaquag was awarded the National Medal for Museum and Library Service in 2016, the nation's highest honor given to celebrate institutions that respond to societal needs in innovative ways, making a difference for individuals, families, and their communities. At the Tomaquag Museum, we strive to provide engaging public education that not only promotes thoughtful dialogue but also creates social change that will lead to the empowerment of Indigenous peoples within our communities.
