Algonquian connections continued to define the watery Chesapeake landscape, even as Virginia and Maryland planters erected fences and forts, policed unfree laborers and Native neighbors, and dispatched land surveyors. Taylor (Virginia Tech University) discusses her 2023 book Plain Paths and Dividing Lines: Navigating Native Land and Water in the Seventeenth-Century Chesapeake. Sponsored by Fulton Public Humanities, the History Department and the Nabb Center.
