The First Peoples of DC/MD/VA and Genocide - In-Person History Program with Ed Ingebretsen.

Columbus Day: Monday, October 10 - 1:00 pm.

Meeting Point: Thompson Boat Center - 2900 Virginia Avenue NW.

In-Person Washington, DC Event (not a Zoom).



The First enslaved and first forgotten Part 1: The Powahatan, Nacotchtanks (Anacostans) and other First Peoples of DC and Virginia.

In 1963 the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was prescient in linking the founding of this nation to the "genocide" of the First Peoples.

This second Mobile Academy lecture-in-place explores the history of the Indigene through the physical history of the Anacostia and Potomac Rivers.

Part II, next month, explores the racist representations of the colonized "Red-Skin" through the triumphant white national art in the Capitol Rotunda.

It explores, additionally, the enslavement of the Potowmak Indigene in the years predating the founding of George Towne.
