The area that is now Maryland has been settled since the end of the last ice age. A variety of Algonquian and Iroquoian speaking peoples lived in the region including the Tuscarora (“hemp gatherers), Nanticoke, and Piscataway. The Tuscarora emerged around the Great Lakes but gradually moved south into what is now the Carolinas. The Nanticoke lived along the shores of the Chesapeake Bay and were allied with the Powhatan Confederacy in what is now Virginia. The Piscataway lived primarily on the north bank of the Potomac River in permeant settlements that mostly consisted of homes surrounded by a wall. When Iroquoian peoples started to move south, the Piscataway villages banded together for mutual protection, creating more hierarchy and establishing a ruler called the Tayac.
