Welcome First Nations and Indigenous People of Maryland and All Visitors to Mayis, an Indigenous Records Guide of the Maryland State Archives
Browse our alphabetical index of terms about Tribal peoples and places found in our current database of Maryland government documents. Many Indigenous terms are found in documents with different spellings. Select the first term listed on the left to see all related spellings in the search results. If you select an alternative spelling, you’ll see only that spelling across all of our records.
The focus of our first project phase covers the years 1632-1800.
