Corporate Reinstatement, Governance Dispute, and Administrative Review
Narragansett Indian Meeting Church / Night Hawk Royal Foundation
Prepared for Public Transparency – Based on Verified Records
⸻
Background
For decades, a Rhode Island corporation historically known as the Narragansett Indian Meeting Church continued to be referenced and used in practice despite falling out of statutory compliance with the State of Rhode Island. Required annual reports were not filed, and the corporation was eventually revoked by the Rhode Island Secretary of State for noncompliance.
As a result, the corporation existed only in name and custom, not in good standing under state law.
