Piscataway Indian Nation and Tayac Territory
The Piscataway Indian Nation is a state-recognized tribe in Maryland〔Witte, Brian. ("Md. Formally Recognizes 2 American Indian Groups". ) ''NBC Washington.'' 9 Jan 2011. Retrieved 10 Jan 2011.〕 that claims descent from the historic Piscataway tribe.〔("Contact Page". ) ''Piscataway Indian Nation and Tayac Territory''. (retrieved 4 Jan 2010)〕 At the time of European encounter, the Piscataway was one of the most populous and powerful Native polities of the Chesapeake Bay region, with a territory on the north side of the Potomac River. By the early seventeenth century, the Piscataway had come to exercise hegemony over other Algonquian-speaking Native American groups on the north bank of the river. The Piscataway nation declined dramatically before the nineteenth century, under the influence of colonization, infectious disease, and intertribal and colonial warfare.
The Piscataway Indian Nation organized out of a 20th-century revival of its people and culture. Its peoples are committed to indigenous and human rights. It is one of three contemporary organized groups of the Piscataway people.
On January 12, 2012, Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley issued an Executive Order recognizing both the Piscataway Indian Nation and the Piscataway Conoy Tribe as Indian groups under a process established by the General Assembly.
==Geography==
The Piscataway Indian Nation inhabits traditional homelands in the areas of Charles County, Prince George's County, and St. Mary's County; all in Maryland. Its people now mostly live in these three southern Maryland counties and in the two nearby major metropolitan areas, Baltimore and Washington, D.C.
