Nacotchtank Mapping Project

A long-term project to map the known Nacotchtank sites in the present-day District of Columbia, which is the ancestral land of the indigenous Nacotchtank people, an ethnic and linguistic subgroup of the Pisctaway people, who still have thousands of living descendants in the DC area today. The goal is to acknowledge the fact that the land where the capital of the United States sits is stolen and once belonged to the Nacotchtank people, and to fill the relatively huge hole in the public's awareness and knowledge of this fact. This map is a work in progress.
