Patuxent River Park American Indian Festival Mini Gallery

The Patuxent River Park American Indian Festival, is not what you’d call a traditional pow wow. The Festival has been created as a promotion and celebration commemorating American Indian and Alaskan Native Heritage Month. The Maryland Natural and Historical Resource Division, who hosted the festival with the Clearwater Nature Center and Watkins Nature Center, directs its attention to non-Natives, reaching out through teaching and hands-on instruction in traditional and modern Native American dancing, artisanal crafts, sports and music. Thousands have attended, eager to learn everything from weaving and archery to tips on how to research their Native American roots.

About the Patuxent River Park
Set on 7,000 acres of protected woodland and watershed, the Patuxent River Park meanders along twelve miles of the Patuxent River, creating a picture of wild natural beauty set on formerly owned Piscataway Indian lands. At the park’s Visitors Center are Indian projectile points, axe heads, and artifacts from colonial times that have been uncovered throughout the sanctuary.
