In this presentation by Lorén M. Spears, Narragansett, learn about Indigenous history and cultural connections through two important belongings loaned by Rhode Island’s Tomaquag Museum: a trade bead necklace and beaded top hat, both by Indigenous artists. The two objects are included in the exhibition, Sargent, Whistler, and Venetian Glass: American Artists and the Magic of Murano, currently on view at Mystic Seaport Museum.
