Indian village

The Accohannock Indian Tribe is one of the oldest historical tribes in Maryland. The Accohannock Indian Tribe is an Algonquian-speaking sub-tribe of the Powhatan nation. They were the first watermen, hunters, farmers, and trappers on the Chesapeake Bay waters and wetlands. They harvested food from the Chesapeake Bay and its many tributaries. They grew squash, maize (corn), and other Native American foods. The Accohannocks also were great hunters of waterfowl, deer, rabbit, squirrels, raccoons, bear and elk.

Unlike many Native Americans who fought the white settlers, the Accohannock Indian Tribe was a peaceful one.

The Accohannock Indian Tribe is now striving to build a Living Village on Maryland's Eastern Shore as a future economic development and self-sufficiency project.

What I learned that was special:
• A snack bar in the new village will serve Native foods such as corn, squash, wild rice, wild game, fish, oysters, and crab.
