See MoreThe #Narragansett people of Rhode Island still face discrimination on the very land they have called home for thousands of years. But this is not a community without spirit, nor one that lacks voices. One of loudest and most recognized of those voices is Lorén Spears, executive director at Tomaquag Museum in Exeter. Amadeus Finlay uncovers her incredible story.
