The Tockwotton Fox Point Cape Verdean Heritage Place (TFPCVHP) is an independent community-based research initiative composed primarily of former residents and/or descendants of the founding Cape Verdean families who settled in the Fox Point section of Providence at the beginning of the 20th century. Beginning in 2007 and incorporated as a 501c3 nonprofit in 2014, the forward-facing mission of the Tockwotton team is to document, preserve, and interpret the lived history of the Tockwotton Fox Point Cape Verdean community.
