Duly vs Guide to Indigenous Maryland Uso & Estadísticas

The Guide to Indigenous Maryland is a tour map and mobile application featuring sites of importance to Native peoples across the state of Maryland. The Guide emphasizes Indigenous peoples’ contributions to the state, highlights the historical and contemporary tribal issues, and acknowledges local Indigenous homelands. The Guide showcases the empowering stories of how Maryland is a place of tribal history, gathering, and advocacy with a long, rich history. The publicly-facing Guide contributes to tribal historic preservation efforts in Maryland, and serves as a resource to primary, secondary, and university-level educational institutions in the city and surrounding areas who can use the guide in conjunction with field trips and curriculum. Tribal leaders and organizations who travel to the area for business will find value in this tool as an educational and culturally-relevant activity. The Guide also encourages millions of tourists who visit the state to remember the importance of Indigenous peoples to our shared national history and raises awareness of the role of Indigenous peoples to ongoing political processes and current events. The Guide was created in close collaboration with scholars, historians, and members of the local Native community who have institutional knowledge of key events and locations. It was developed in 2022 by Principal Investigator Dr. Elizabeth Rule and her Guide to Indigenous Lands Project, and in partnership with the Prince George’s County Memorial Library System, Maryland State Library, and Maryland Libraries Together.
