NATIVE AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH 

November is a month to celebrate the history, traditions and cultures of Native American people and to acknowledge the impact that they have made and continue to make on this country. This is a great time to educate students on tribes, to raise an awareness about the  challenges Native people have endured both in the past and in the present and they ways that these challenges have been endured and persevered.

At the time of Columbus, as many as 10 million Native Americans lived in North America. A succession of Algonquian peoples ultimately coalesced into the Piscataway Nation of the  Chesapeake & Tidewater regions of Maryland. The Piscataway  were the first Native Americans to encounter Captain John Smith along the banks of the Potomac River in 1608. Today, Mark Tayac and the Piscataway Nation Singers & Dancers carry on the long standing traditions, culture and heritage of their indigenous ancestors. Mark Tayac and the Piscataway Nation Singers & Dancers welcome the opportunity to educate and entertain audiences who want to learn more about American Indian history, culture and traditions.
