As Quakers we are interested in all people and cultures and learning from others. We are pleased to share information about this educational program and projects…

Guide to Indigenous Lands:
A Digital Mapping Project

“The Guide to Indigenous Lands Project is an initiative dedicated to the creation of mobile applications that map sites of Indigenous importance. This public humanities and public history project offers affiliated apps in both iOS and Android formats, all of which are free to download. If you are interested in creating a Guide to Indigenous Lands for your city, tribal territory, state, ancestral lands, institution, university, or school, please reach out to Dr. Elizabeth Rule using the contact page. You can learn more at GuideToIndigenousLands.com”

Guide to Indigenous Baltimore

“Guide to Indigenous Maryland is a multi-faceted community engagement initiative of the Maryland State Library Agency and Maryland’s public libraries. Through the development and curation of educational resources, the project aims to teach Marylanders about the history of local Native and Indigenous peoples and how their heritage influences contemporary life in Maryland. Content for the app and website are based on crowdsourced contributions and recommendations from individual Native and Indigenous Marylanders, as well as tribal nations heritage organizations, in collaboration with Maryland’s public libraries.”

From the introduction to this app…

"Use this site to learn about places and spaces important to American Indian history and continued presence in the city, with a specific focus on East Baltimore's Historic American Indian "reservation". The place now known as Baltimore is part of the ancestral homelands of the Piscataway and the Susquehannock, and a diverse host of American Indian folks from other nations have passed through or lived here at different times- and still do."
