1608: First European
Record of the Nanticoke Tribe
"To Europeans, the earth and its land were mere possessions to be bought and sold at the whims of men..."
-- Chief Little Owl
Captain John Smith was the first European to record the Nanticoke tribe on his journey of exploration in 1608. By the end of the 17th century, the Nanticoke and Choptank were among the last Native tribes still living on the Eastern Shore. |
