There were American Indians, the Anacostans, living on Capitol Hill before the city was built - we need to commemorate that part of our history! See also: http://onceasitwasdc.org
This book is the cullmination of what started with my earliest efforts to get a Native Village Marker for Capitol Hill!
Hopefully, telling the whole story of my collection of details on the Garfield Park/Carroll Estate site, and the many others around the city, will significantly increase awareness of the many missing stories in the Native history of DC!
As a status report on the Native history of the Anacostans in DC, here is a 6 min. video that summarizes sites that exist in 2021. If any readers know of others, please be in touch!
