ACCOHANNOCK
Located on the Eastern Shore, the Accohannock had great standing among their tribal neighbors. Part of the Powhatan Nation, the Accohannock maintained a peaceful coexistence with European settlers. After Powhatan's death, the tribe continued trade and amicable relations, despite edicts of Powhatan's heir.
Emigration and assimilation have greatly reduced the Accohannock's population, but they still maintain a presence in Somerset County. The Accohannock Indian Tribal Museum is found at Marion Station, Maryland.

ICYMI: Yesterday, WCPS leaders popped into classrooms at Berlin Intermediate School, where students were excited to share their learning with visiting leaders. And of course, no classroom visits are complete without some #BooksFromTheBackseat book giveaways. #WeAreWorcester #EveryStoryMatters #EveryChildBelongs
ALGONQUIN
The Algonquin people were very prosperous during European colonization. At that time, tribes and bands were present in most colonies, and Maryland was no exception. Of the Algonquin subtribes living in Maryland, the four most prominent were the Choptank, the Delaware, the Matapeake, and the Nanticoke. As coastal people, these subtribes spent the warmer months hunting and fishing in or near the Chesapeake Bay.
Due to tribal wars and colonial incursions, a large portion of the Maryland Algonquin had emigrated by the end of the 17th century. Some Algonquin, however, chose to stay, including the Nause-Waiwash band of Dorchester County.
