Recent and Upcoming Happenings

This blog has gotten a bit neglected recently. The FB DCNHP page seems to attract more attention. But this is a great place to do a liesurely summary of what has been happening and may happen regarding the Native history of DC!

 - Chasing after Bolling for the last 2 years may eventually pay off! A friend found an ad on an antropology website that they're trying to hire a person with an archaeology background for the air bases in the DC area and part of their work will involve dealing with Native American issues! 

- On Dec. 1, Piscataway leaders will be meeting with the DC Water people to hear their plans to incorporate Native history into the materials they produce for the public and mark some of their sites to include Native history (they have properties near Bolling AFB and Soapstone Valley). \\

- An effort to expand the name of Garfield Park to Garfield-Anacostan Park is being presented to the Advisory Neighborhood Commissioners in Dec (or maybe Jan.) A member of Charles Allen's staff has offered support in presenting a successful vote by the ANC to the full City Council! 

- The Sept. Washington Post article led to a number of additional presentations about the "Hidden Native History of DC," including a few high schools, an Oasis group based in Bethesda, and the Art Club of Washington.

Coming soon! A video for Native American Heritage Day on the status of where you can find some public mention of the Ancostans in 2021 DC.
