Return to a Native Place: Algonquian Peoples of the Chesapeake

Our latest design work at the National Museum of the American Indian introduces the Native Peoples of the Chesapeake Bay region – what is now Washington D.C. and its surrounding area through photographs, maps, ceremonial and everyday objects. This handsomely displayed exhibit reveals the history and continued presence of the Nanticoke, Powhatan, and Piscataway tribes.
