Geography[edit]

The Piscataway had settled on the north bank of Potomac River in what is now Prince George's County, Maryland, according to John Smith's 1608 map. Their settlements appear in that same area on maps through 1700.^[11][12] Piscataway descendants independently inhabit part of their traditional homelands on the Western Shore of Maryland's Chesapeake Bay in the areas of Charles, Prince George's, and St. Mary's counties, located near the two metropolitan areas of Baltimore and Washington, D.C.. None of the three state-recognized tribes noted above has a reservation or trust land.

Traditional culture[edit]

The Piscataway relied more on agriculture than many of their neighbors, which enabled them to live in permanent villages. They lived near waters navigable by canoes. Their crops included corn, several varieties of beans, melons, pumpkins, squash and (ceremonial) tobacco. Men hunted bears, elk, deer, and wolves as well as beaver, squirrels, partridges, wild turkeys, and other small game with bows and arrows. Fishing, oyster and clam harvesting, and gathering berries and nuts in seasons supplemented their diets.^[13][14]

As was common in other Algonquian villages, Piscataway villages included several individual houses protected by a log palisade.^[15][16] Traditional houses were rectangular and typically 10 feet high and 20 feet long, a type of longhouse, with barrel-shape roofs, covered with bark or woven mats. A hearth occupied the center of the house with a smoke hole overhead.^[17]
