Tomaquag Indian Memorial Museum

The Tomaquag Indian Memorial Museum endeavors to create a book that articulates the artistic tradition of wampum work and the continuation of the practice today. The book will include history and quotes from the museum archives and images from the collections and will spotlight southern New England wampum artists from a variety of Native communities; such as the Narragansett, the Wampanoag, the Pequot and Nipmuc. The book fulfills a need as there are few contemporary books written about wampum from a Native perspective.
