“All Rivers Have a Beginning”

Samuel Vincent Proudfoot, of Native American ancestry, wandered through the District of Columbia at the turn to the 20th Century. He was looking for evidence of people who lived here thousands of years before any European colonist landed in the “New” World. He found the evidence.

Who were the Nacotchtank? And where are they now? They are still here, though there are no self-identified members alive. Their memory is kept true in the Piscataway Conoy of southern Maryland, and other tribal stories.
