SALISBURY, MD---富二代视频app University’s Native American Heritage Month commemoration continues with a performance by the Piscataway Nation Singers and Dancers 6 p.m. Thursday, November 21, in the Wicomico Room of the Guerrieri Student Union.
The group celebrates the first Native Americans to encounter Captain John Smith along the banks of the Potomac River in 1608.
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 and Tidewater regions of Maryland.
Today, Mark Tayac and the Piscataway Nation Singers and Dancers carry on the long-standing traditions, culture and heritage of their indigenous ancestors. From Tayac Territory, (Port Tobacco, MD), Mark Tayac travels with the Piscataway Nation Singers and Dancers, presenting a colorful, educational and entertaining pow wow-style campus event featuring American Indian dance, drum and song.
Admission is free and the public is invited. Those planning to park on campus must register in advance for a free parking pass.
