Located in Exeter, Rhode Island, Tomaquag Museum is Rhode Island’s only Indigenous-led museum, dedicated to sharing the history, culture, and arts of Indigenous peoples. Through lectures, arts and educator workshops, ecological knowledge tours, and offsite programs focused on the Indigenous peoples of the Dawnland (focus Southern New England), we engage and foster dialogue that reconciles the past and empowers present and future generations. Tomaquag Museum is the only museum in Rhode Island to receive the National Medal for Museum and Library Service, the nation’s highest honor for community service.
Description
Join Tomaquag Museum's virtual book club meeting, led by Assistant Director Silvermoon LaRose, on February 23rd at 7:00 PM to discuss "The Unfinished" by Cheryl Isaacs (Mohawk). The young adult horror and mystery novel begins when the main character, Avery, discovers a hidden pond in the forest, tying into the museum's 2027 "Water is Life" book club theme. Rooted in Mohawk stories, zombie-like entities called "unfinished" force Avery to take guidance from her elders and address her connection to her heritage.
