Indigenous DC

Join Peerless Rockville and the Glenview Mansion Speaker Series in-person at Glenview Mansion for this fascinating presentation on local indigenous history. In this talk, Dr. Elizabeth Rule (American University) will present on her Guide to Indigenous DC, a digital map and mobile app featuring sites of importance to Native peoples across the Nation’s capital, and her affiliated full-length book, Indigenous DC: Native Peoples and the Nation’s Capital (Georgetown University Press, 2023). Rule’s research emphasizes Indigenous peoples’ contributions to Washington, DC, highlights the historical and contemporary federal tribal policy developed in the city, and acknowledges the peoples whose homelands upon which the District of Columbia was built. Together, the map, app, and book showcase the empowering stories of how Washington, DC is a place of tribal history, gathering, and advocacy with a long, rich history.

Copies of the book will be available for purchase.
