Piscataway Nation Singers and Dancers Visit
The Piscataway Nation Singers and Dancers educated and entertained students at Southside Virginia Community College this week. It was part of the celebration of November as Native American History Month.
SVCC students and faculty joined in the games and dance to learn more about the culture of Native Americans.
For thousands of years before the arrival of Europeans, Piscataway culture thrived along the banks of the Potomac River. Today, thousands of indigenous people come to "Tayac Territory" near Port Tobbacco, Maryland, to participate in activities for the preservation of Native American life and culture.
From Tayac Territory, the singers and dancers of the Piscataway Nation travel extensively, throughout Europe, Canada and the United States, conducting workshops, presenting lectures and performing authentic Native American dance, drum and song.
