Description of Pictures: Return to a Native Place: Algonquian Peoples of Chesapeake
November 13, 2006 – Permanent
Through photographs, maps, ceremonial and everyday objects, and interactives, this small display provides an overview of the history of the Native peoples of the Chesapeake Bay region (what is now Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.) from the 1600s to the present day. The Native people of this region include the Nanticoke, Powhatan, and Piscataway tribes.

4. AMINAL_150822_29.JPG: Racial segregation laws barred Native children from attending white schools.
5. AMINAL_150822_33.JPG: Walter Plecker, State Registrar of Vital Statistics, wrote this letter in 1943 to enforce Virginia's laws banning Indian self-identification, which had been passed in the 1920s. Native people had to identify as "Negro," the terminology in use at the time for African Americans, which meant that they no longer could have access to Indian rights and that they would be subject to racist segregation policies.

2015 photos: Equipment this year: I mostly used my Fuji XS-1 camera but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000. I retired from the US Census Bureau in god-forsaken Suitland, Maryland on my 58th birthday in May. Yee ha! Trips this year: a quick trip to Florida. two Civil War Trust conferences (Raleigh, NC and Richmond, VA), and my 10th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including Los Angeles). Ego Strokes: Carolyn Cerbin used a Kevin Costner photo in her USA Today article. Miss DC pictures were used a few times in the Washington Post. Number of photos taken this year: just over 550,000.
