SALISBURY, MD---Salisbury University hosts the Native American Heritage Month presentation “River Networks and Ancestral Pathways: The Cultural Heritage of Rivers in the Pocomoke Indian Nation’s Sphere of Influence” 7 p.m. Wednesday, November 13, in Conway Hall Room 153.

Wicomico, Rockawalkin, Wighcocomoco and Pocomoke are familiar local monikers with complex histories that members of the Pocomoke Indian Nation have been researching through Colonial-era documents. This presentation takes attendees on a journey along the rivers, paths and bridges that composed the Pocomoke and other Algonquian groups’ ancestral landscapes and still shape familiar surroundings.

Sponsored by the Edward H. Nabb Research Center for Delmarva History and Culture, Fulton Public Humanities and the History Department, admission is free and the public is invited.

Those planning to park on campus must register in advance for a free parking pass.
