Tracing Piscataway Indian History into the 20th Century: Connecting Past and Present
Hosted by St. Mary's College of Maryland, this mini-symposium examines connections between the Piscataway Indian past and present through a focus on three subjects: the c. 1681 Zekiah Fort, the 19th-century Indian settlement around Popes Creek, and the 20th-century American Indian Movement.

About The Event
Establishing connections between modern and historical Native communities can be challenging given the efforts of colonial and U.S. governments to erase Indian identity. This mini-symposium explores how oral histories and archaeological evidence forge the links often intentionally missing from the archive. Join archaeologists Julia A. King and Scott M. Strickland and Piscataway Conoy Tribal Chair Francis Gray as they describe making these links for the Piscataway and the importance of the American Indian Movement to these efforts.
