The Nanticoke’s Lasting Legacy: Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow
The Milford Museum American History Series continues with a program titled The Nanticoke’s Lasting Legacy: Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow presented by Dr. Bonnie G. Hall on Saturday, June 14, 1:00 p.m. at the Milford Public Library in Milford, Delaware. The Nanticoke, “Tidewater People or People of the Tidewaters”, had its first European contact in 1608 with the arrival of British Captain John Smith. In 1943, C.A. Weslager published a book titled Delaware Forgotten Folk. “Forgotten…... says who?” according to Dr. Hall. The Indian Mission School represents the Tribe's initial effort to become legally incorporated as Nanticoke as far as the Delaware Assembly would permit in the 1800s. The Nanticoke have struggled to remain a vibrant, cultural community for centuries. Although the challenges persist, the Tribe remains vigilant, resilient, and resolute in its efforts to maintain its cultural identity, history and traditions. Join us in a celebration of the First People of the First State!
