Beach to Bay Indian TrailLocal Native American names are evident in this region. The various tribes frequently moved from upland permanent villages to seasonal camps each year.
Following natural and land contours to facilitate walking or canoeing, they would move to coastal sites from the Atlantic Ocean to the Chesapeake Bay area each Spring. They traveled well-used trails to attend regional clan or tribal meetings, ceremonies or big game hunts. The Beach to Bay Indian Trail was designated a National Recreation Trail by the Department of the Interior in 1993. While it was intended to recreate the native pathways and migration patterns from the beach to the bay by Native Americans, it lacked accuracy due to insufficient consultation with the area’s Indigenous People. The trail contains stops at museums and parks throughout Worcester and Somerset counties. We are planning to re-image the trail, not just in name, but with expanded content and interpretation. We will be consulting with the Pocomoke Indian Nation to redevelop the Beach to Bay Indian Trail. |
