THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED.

Join us at Peace Dale Library with Tomaquag Museum Executive Director Lorén Spears, who will speak about the Museum's ground-breaking new edition of Roger Williams' A Key Into the Language of America.

This unique 1643 book is the earliest documentation of an American Indian language in English and is valued by scholars, students, and the Indigenous community from a linguistic, cultural, and historical perspective. The Tomaquag Museum Edition, released September 2019, marks for the first time the input of the Narragansett Tribal Community. The editorial team, led by museum director Lorén M. Spears, "set out to make the text more accessible and user friendly especially for the Narragansett people and other Algonquian speakers.” Footnotes add Narragansett and modern perspectives, and Kathleen J. Bragdon of William & Mary University added information about Narragansett and other Algonquin languages as well as remarks on Williams' cultural observations.

The event is free and open to the public. Registration is recommended but not required at 789-1555 xt 108.
